Title: Brakes on earles fork front end
Post by: Sit on March 28, 2020, 02:09:48 PM

Anyone have issued trying to bleed brakes on earles fork front ends where the calipers are underneath, about 4 o'clock position?  I can't get pressure to build in my system.  Everything is new except the body of the calipers and the body of the master, new internals, new lines etc.
 
What am I missing?

You have more diagnostic options. These are among them.

• Empty the master cylinder reservoir. Verify that neither of the ports in the master cylinder piston is clogged. They can be cleaned with fine wire.
• Verify that the piston moves smoothly and fully through its stroke.
• If those conditions have been met, try this (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,8185.msg61283.html#msg61283).
