Re: bleeding 4kcsq clutch (fwd)

["Pat Martin" <mardkins@email.msn.com>]

Unfortunately I have about 7 hours of experience on this one.  I found that
if the clutch master was not FULLY extended it will not allow any pressure
bleeding.  Also the design of the fluid reservoir is pitiful to say the
least.  You have to constantly top off the fluid as well as tilt the
reservoir to get fluid into the separate chamber for the clutch.  I finally
found that my clutch was not returning all of the way and it would not allow
fluid to enter the fill chamber.

Hope that helps.
