What am I missing ? I rebuilt the clutch hydraulics on my wife's 78 RB 1500
Midget as soon as we got it in mid-July, and although the clutch released a
bit low, which I attributed to a little remaining air, it drove OK. I decided
to wait a while to re-bleed because I'd used silicone fluid and I wanted to
let any entrained air separate out, so one re-bleeding would be enough.
Tonight, after the car had been parked for 2 weeks I started it and the clutch
wouldn't disengage. After bleeding and bellding and re-bleeding some more,
and even pulling the slave cylinder out to bleed it with the bleed nipple
completely straight up, I still get inadequate travel. The clutch is moving
and feels normal at the pedal, but it just won't throw all the way out. The
nose of the slave was dry - no leakage.
Thanks!
