Pretty fancy set up! How I fixed the soft first pedal, normal 2nd pedal was to bleed the system from the wheel cylinders backwards to the MC. I learned this on, believe it or not, 1980s motorcycles with dual front discs. It took a bit and 2 people to do it to make sure the brake fluid didn't...

Your issue now is no pedal on the first push and a good pedal after that, or the brakes stay applied after releasing the pedal?

It was just brought to my attention that I did not update this to let people know what fixed the pig! I do believe that it was air in the system as NDT said. I ended up using an oil can filled with brake fluid and reverse power bled the system from the wheel cylinders back up to the MC. Messy...

Woops! Didn't mean to put the V100 in there!

Here's some pics of the brake stuff. The first 4 are of the stuff in the M8 in question. The next two are of the MC and hydrovac of an un touched M20 showing the two line MC. The hydrovac on the M8 is larger in diameter than the one on the M20. The last few are of the "touched up" M8 we are...

Gamagoat1, I can tell you that the second line is NOT there. It has a type 2 hydraboost. . I will take some pics on Tuesday and post them up. Maybe this will fix my delema. Thanks guys!

The M/C on it is the exact same one as a deuce...don't know if it the stock one, I asked Craig to check it against the unmolested M20 in the back 40. IIRC, it is a1 3/4 diameter unit. It has been bled with a pressure bleeder, multiple times and the system split in half and bled. The springs are...

Thanks for all the input, keep it comming! I isolated the M/C and Hydraboost from the rest of the system and bled that half...had a hard pedal. I hooked up the rest of the system, bled it, and the pedal action is still the same. I did go through the hydraboost and it does work, no fluid...

Well, i'm stumped. I have read and been told that the braking system on the M8 and M20 vehicles are a biatch, but how bad could it really be :roll:, right? Well, I gotta say that they are the most difficult ones I have ever done and I have hit a wall with an issue that they have. Rebuilt the...
