Making Him Go And Then Getting Him To Stop...
Created on 2006-09-09 08:34:21
I ordered a fuel float with the pick-up tube from Moss and got it installed in the tank. I did have to do some modification since it was too long fit in the tank correctly as bought (I knew that going in but it was better than replacing the tank). Nemo fired right up and after warming up, ran perfectly. I also got another rebuild kit for the rear brake cylinder from Victoria British. This kit still did not have the corret parts in the bag. I decided to fax a picture of the correct parts and they still sent me wrong ones. I know the right kit exists since one of the first kits was correct. Finally they sent me a rebuilt rear caliber. Now on to the bleeding of the brakes. I could not get anything out of the rear calipers. I decided it would probably be a good idea to rebuild the master cylinder so I order a rebuild kit from an eBay auction. The kit was fine but when I disassembled the master cylinder, the rear brake piston would not come out and the bobby-pin looking thing that holds the piston assembly together was broken. I tried everything I could think of to get the piston out so after a couple of hours...Yep, you guessed it, I ordered a master cylinder from Moss. The new master cylinder went in without a hitch and the bleeding took no time to finish. After the brakes were done I bleed the clutch and it too is now working fine.
