Hi all. I race in ITB, and not ITS (yet). My problem involves a Z that I've worked on for years...more than I'd care to admit to. I have changed all hydraulic brake parts, hardware and pads/shoes, and have not yet been able to successfully bleed the system.
With new master cylinder #1, I was left with a half pedal, very spongy and unpredictable pedal level. After bleeding with all known methods known to man, even power bleeder, I ended with the above described result.
After installing master cylinder #2 (thinking the first MUST be defective), I barely move fluid thru the lines, and the pedal is always on the floor. There is a small amount of free pedal felt, then the pedal can be moved to the floor with "minimal" resistance...ie: slightly more resistance than with the movement at the top (free Pedal). Fluid arrives at the wheel cylinder clear, and bubble free.
When changed over, the booster was undisturbed. Only the master cylinder and lines were touched.
Can anyone (or more) lead me down the trail to a functioning brake system?
My e mail address is [email protected] if any interest is in personal communication.
Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Bill Frieder
