So long story short i installed all new brakes on my deuce and cannot get the air pack to function properly. Rebuilt all 6 wheel cylinders, all new rubber lines, rebuilt master cylinder, installed kit in air pack and honed bores slightly.
Where i stand now is air being sent to the back side of the air chamber when no brakes are being applied causing them to drag. I took it apart last night and found the little exhaust valve sticking so i cleaned that up and now it is not quite seating all the way. The TM says to tighten the nylock nut on the exhaust valve inside the air pack until one thread is showing. If i tighten it a little bit further will it help it seal by creating greater spring tension? Has anybody else had problems with these rebuild kits?
-Is the newer style air pack worth upgrading to?
-Does anybody sell a gasket for the back of the air pack that actually fits and stays in one piece?
