I've mentioned in previous posts that I could not find the source repeating "soft pedal" and air in my clutch hydraulics. Here's what I think has been the problem:
I found the wavy spring washer in the MC broken, with a section completely missing. This would allow juice to be sometimes be pushed back into the reservoir instead of to the slave. When this happens I would rapidly pump the pedal which would be a source for air getting back into the cylinder.
I also see that my plunger did not have the rear seal on it (some diagrams show it with and some without?). I'm thinking this would allow the plunger to "****" a little in the bore and not seal properly, thus increasing the chance of drawing air.
I had a MC repair kit on hand from Moss, but I'm disappointed to see that the spring washer is not included... bummer. I'll have to get one before I can prove my theory.
