Has anyone bled their Mangusta clutch hydraulic system lately, or ever? I now have a problem, even though before this everything worked fine.
I decided to change the fluid in mine and since my wife was gone, usually the pedal pusher while I do the wrench work, I put one of those
bleeder valves on the slave cylinder that has a little check valve in it so you do not need to open and shut the bleeder valve, just push the pedal.
Well, very little came out so I got my hot rod friend to come over. He is a very good wrench and we started.
We could not get anything to come out of the bleeder valve, only about a teaspoon of fluid came out with the aut omatic bleeder.. The pedal feels like there is nothing connected to it. We suspect that there is air in the master cylinder so I got under the dash to see if there was a bleeder on the master cylinder .
No bleeder, I knew there wouldn't be, so I slowly turned the nut out that attaches the hydraulic line from the slave cylinder to the back of the master cylinder. I then worked the pedal and air and fluid came out. I tightened it down but no change. Anyone have any ideas based on past experience?
Thanks, Dick Ruzzin.
