[6pack] New Master Cylinder locking up

[im sloane]

Hi guys,
An update on my locking up MC. I did adjust the booster rod in just a tad, but also pulled the new MC apart and lubed it with the red grease. Been on a few rides and so far so good. I'd recommend re- lubing a new TRW MC if you get one. I believe that was the fix.

BTW, Rimmer Bros did send me a replacement MC, but I just couldn't stomach just throwing away a brand new one. So now I have a spare new-in-box.

Yea, I had seen the booster rod was adjustable, and I adjusted it in a little bit, but wasn't really sure what I was doing.  I'll tell you, a new booster surely does feel like the car has 'power brakes' for the first time ever. Maybe I need to adjust that rod in a bit again, but it's kinda hard to even tell which way is in.

I think my 2nd issue must have been the tipping valve. I've never touched my calipers.

Again, I'm going to re-bleed the fronts and take it for a ride.

Sloane
