Long pedal travel again after overhaul

AJ/FormS said

Im confused.
Are you saying the pedal just hangs low. Or that it takes a lot of pedal travel to engage the brakes. You dont mention that the pedal is soft or spongy,yet you suspect theres air in the system. You say it stops okay,but you keep bleeding them.

Not hanging low, the pedal is high, and correct, it takes a lot of pedal travel to engage. I wouldn't say it is soft or spongy. It works when it travels the 3 inches and engages. It just feels like I shouldn't have 3 inches of travel. If the air is out of the system, the fluid won't compress that much. I pump it several times it will build up, then when I let go and press again, the pedal is back to the high position, press again and it takes 3 inches to engage. Still acts like air, but again they have always been this way. Make sense what I'm saying. Craig

No not the same m/c as the other was a disk/drum. The new one is the correct M/C equal reservoirs for drum/drum.


Drums were turned and I put more radius on the shoes. Rear drums were actually new, front turned.
