lynchfourtwenty Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 so i was tryin to rebleed my brakes in preporation for my truck bein on the road again.. i bled the back brakes just fine but when i went to do the fronts no fluid was commin out, time an time again.. finally i got a few drops but nothin major.. so i went to try to bleed the m/c for the front brakes an nothin was commin out.. same little tiny bit like the caliper.. i bled the rear brakes just fine.. even the rear brake bleeder on the m/c worked fine.. is it possible its broken or some crap.. i mean its like a year old an has way less then a year of drive time on it.. hell its sat more then its been used..

volksmike Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I had the same problem, but with the rears. In my case, there was enough air in the line (from taking the MC off and replacing it) to have gotten sucked up into the MC and un-priming the piston. You might have to re bench bleed it to get it going again. Another possibility, there was a rubber valve like deal under the fitting the brake line threads into. It might be stuck. ORRR the rubber cup part might have gotten hard and is no longer sealing so the pressure is going past. Quote Link to comment
volksmike Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I would take it off, and re-bench bleed it to make sure. If that doesn't work, take it apart and clean it. Water may have gotten in there and gunked it up. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 weird i didnt bench bleed it before.. i will call the part store an see if i can get a new one.. ifsofacto i will jus replace it :P but if they dont wanna replace it for free i will do what you said.. only thing is i dont have a kit to doit.. so any ghetto tricks?

yello620 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Was this M/C a remanufactured unit or a NEW unit last year. In my experiences, a remanufactured master is only good for about 1-2 years, not sure why, just seen them fail repeatedly. And NEW replacements seem to last many years. But, finding new may be a little more difficult. Jason Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 its a 79 reman m/c Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 hey quick question, i have a 83 280zx turbo 4w disc brake M/C... would i be able to use that as a "bolt on" w/ no mods.. also how would it work with the rear drums?? Quote Link to comment
volksmike Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Get a short length of steel brake line (about 1') cut it in two and thread the ends into the MC and bend the lines up. Put some hose on the cut ends and aim them into the reservoir. Bleed like usual. Save for the next time. Not sure of the Z MC. Quote Link to comment
fryanbacon Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 yeah I've had the same experience with reman m/c! but it's hard/expensive to find new for datsuns. oh, and with all due respect, I thought filthy language was prohibited on ratsun. right? "is my M/C F****ed?":D Quote Link to comment

72 327 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 You may want to do a little research and find out who FUCKED it. Maybe it FUCKED itself who's to say the next one wont do the same. The Word FUCK is my favorite word. Quote Link to comment

fryanbacon Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I just found this and this was where I based my post: "in the FAQ section Why have some of the words in my post been blanked? Certain words may have been censored by the administrator. If your posts contain any censored words, they will be blanked-out like this: *****. The same words are censored for all users, and censoring is done by a computer simply searching and replacing words. It is in no way 'intelligent'." I saw a lot of words on posts that HAD been censored, so I assumed it was universal again. no big deal Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 you should all get a kick out of that. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 het word f*** isn't even in the dic tionary so it not really a word, its just a made up action word (verb).like for ample gullible isnt either. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 het word f*** isn't even in the dic tionary so it not really a word, its just a made up action word (verb). Actually it's an acronym, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge in other words, anything other than missionary ;) another acronym most people don't know about is S.H.I.T. Ship High In Transit in other words, put the poop on the deck where it won't explode :D another word that's real definition is not well known is 'sodomy' which also doesn't mean what you think it means...if your not reproducing - your sodomizing...so yes, killing kittens is also sodomy :blink: as far as censored words here at ratsun...mean and hurtful are not allowed (slurs, racial, etc), descriptive is ok (the title of this thread is a good example). but I digress...Lynch, maybe you need a 'new' un-fucked master cylinder :P Quote Link to comment
