Yes, I have shortened the push rod on both sides. What should the adjustment
be? I have made sure that there is some free play before the rod contacts
the piston. When I look through the big hole I can see 1/2 of the raised part
of the piston . That half is into the cylinder. At that position I can place
a bit of wire into the little hole and have no resistance to it.

was like a light switch, on or off. Period. So this year I decided to go with
a 3/4" master cylinder conversion setup. I have the master and I have a
Riverside slave cylinder.

replaced from the master reservoir.
