dundy9 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 when trying to bleed my hs 33 with echo tr lever today. put both pipes on with blood etc when i tried pumping the fluid through the system there is resistance against the syringe and the fluid refuses to enter the system. anybody got any ideas as to why?

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 You're doing something wrong... Can you explain how you're trying to bleed it, what end the syringe is on, where the spent fluid is being extracted from etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundy9 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 not doing anything wrong mate. bleeding with the syringe full off fluid onto the slave cylinders at the bottom and the waste pipe attached to the top of the lever where the bleed screw was.

Revolver Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 It would do this if a bleed hole was blocked. Maybe your bleed pipe is blocked? Can you blow through it? Sounds stupid but I can't think of much else it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundy9 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 nope both the bleed holes are fine as the bit of fluid that was in the brake came out, also both the pipes are fine. i havent got a clue what could have caused this... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is the waste pipe just a straight through pipe? I've tried bleeding before with one way valves designed for cars/motorbikes and the valve was too strong to allow fluid through. Only other thing it can be is a blockage in the system somewhere... Does sound a bit strange! As a sanity check, if you loosen the syringe, does the fluid escape under gravity or is it still held in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundy9 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 now sorted the problem there was a large amount of air in the system around the slave cylinders. another problem has now arose, after bleeding the system and replacing the bleed screw back and tightening it, the fluid comes straight out. the brake lever is an echo tr 2011, anyone else experience the same problem?

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Where is the fluid coming straight out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundy9 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Where is the fluid coming straight out of? the fluids coming out the bleed hole with the bleed screw in it. i think it may be the seal around it but as its a new lever only a couple of days old ive sent it back to tarty who are going to sort it.
