Help / advice needed?
The final job of recommissioning my my UK spec 1977 400 Four, is causing me some grief.
I have spent today installing a DS master cylinder service kit. I had the devil's own job getting the wire clip (spring wire not circlip) to hold the rubber boot is there an easy way for this?
Regrettably, there is still a slight weep from the lid of the reservoir unless I tighten the lid to full Muller (technical term). Do I need a new rubber for the cylinder or perhaps a new lid? Lever is now firm and no other leaks.
The bike has passed the MOT and I have now ridden 100 miles with no other issues, it's a great ride!
-
Between the lid and the rubber diaphragm there should be a white plastic ring, L - section IIRC.
Those boots can be a sod to get on, I use a skinny screwdriver.
-
I'll check that out, thanks.
-
I have the white L Section washer and it looks in very good condition, and other ideas?
-
What's the condition of the diaphragm, particularly where it rests on the lip of the reservoir?
-
Diaphragm looks good, no further leaks today, fluid level just below the line on the reservoir, so maybe I had over filled it.
-
I was thinking that too. There's some sort of MAX line inside the reservoir. Can't remember off hand.
