Spent a very frustrating day working on this beastie.
Previous owner installed a new MOSS clutch master cyl
a few years ago, and was never able to bleed the system.
I confirmed that today. Tried everything from using
a vaccuum pump to suck fluid down to the slave cyl,
to the traditional hose in bottle, pump, close valve,
etc which I've done many times. Neither worked. No leaks
anywhere, fluid is going through system, bubbles appear
to go away, but no clutch. I disassembled the master,
and the bore is spiffy with new seals correctly installed
(later version with nub on spring end of plunger).
Master doesn't seem to develop pressure. Suggestions?
Lots of electrical issues too, which I'm working through.
I have not been able to remove the (defective) headlight/
running light switch. The book says to remove the retaining
clip. How???!!! Can't see the darn thing even with the
tach removed. BTW, there are a number of errors in the
schematic. Always helpful!
TIA
I'll probably be a pest for a while until I get this
thing on the road....
