So I had very squish front brake on my 75 f bike that I could not get to bleed. I figured it was a bad master cylinder so I purchased a rebuild kit. Well it
still wont bleed. So I swaped it out with one on my working bike and it still wont work on the good bike and the good one works on both bikes so I know it is
not the lines or piston. I am guessing that there must be some small pitting on the inside of the master cylinder and it is toast. Any suggestions other
that to find a new one???? Any one know of a good place to get a new one that will work on our bikes?

Trick is to break the banjo bolt like you are bleeding the bottom nipple. Do the same sequence and make sure it's closed once you release or you are
sucking air in the main M/C. The bubbles are just rolling as you shoot the oil past them. So that upper purge might do the trick. Try it. You have nothing to
lose.

Blackhog, I sure that I've got a few of them in the shop. I'll check tomorrow and let you know if I've got a good one!
