Hello, everyone. Can anyone help me?
It used to be that I had to pump the clutch of my 67 mgb mk 1 several times before each shift. I removed the master cylinder and replaced the seals and washers therein. THe seals were badly worn. However, for some reason, I cannot bleed the clutch now. Here's what happens:
When I pump the clutch, it doesn't suck any fluid. I know the master cylinder works properly because when I disconnect it from the line and pump, theres nothing one can do to stop the flow from it. I know it's not the line because also upon disconnecting it, it's very easy to blow air through it. Is it the fact that the fluid is first pumped upwards before descending to the slave that keeps the fluid from advancing through the line. I've been working on this for waht seems like 8 hours and I am running out of ideas.
Whenever the clutch is pumped air comes out of the end(slave) but yet the fluid line in the cylinder does not recede. As stated, once separated from the metal line, however, and pumped, the fluid recedes rapidly. Anyone?
Nearly hopeless,
