The rebirth of Lazarus
Bryanj:
If bleeding at the master gets no pressure you will never bleed the full system i have had it take over 30 mins of trying before first pressure and then more to squirt forcibly.
You my be better off with one of Mr Silvers repo ones
K2-K6:
As already noted, but version of the mc bleed, with banjo disconnected at mc, lid off, fill with fluid and it should just run out of banjo port without any lever movement at all.
If it doesn't leak out like this with lever in "home" position, then unlikely to fill the line easily when bleeding.

A couple of small victories today. The brake bleeding saga was solved by a new repro from silvers, still took a while but bled in the conventional way and a firm lever now. Also did a soldered repair on the tank, as the hole was only 2-3 mm it seems to be ok. De-rusting tank with phosphoric acid ready for paint, almost there!
mickwinf:
While de-rusting the tank it revealed several more small holes around the reinforcing area where the rear tank mounting is. I have soldered them but still getting a small leak from somewhere inaccessible so am going to use a liner. Not ideal but it's my only option.

Maybe safer when it’s a little “peppered†like that. Nothing more annoying than getting it all painted and finding further leaks!
