Came home and un zip tied it...not half as bad as it was! 

Had my daughters dance recital rehearsal tonight, no maintenance this evening...more tomorrow.

Good luck with it Sean.  Just don't piss off the fluid.  That chit will eat hours of your time if you make it angry.

Interesting hypothesis.

Which begs the question.

How does one go about staying on the good side of the fluid ?  :nixweiss:

Actually Don, that might be a good idea. Howie seems to be pissed off at everything and nothing all at once. It's sort of a permanent state of mind with him. The fluid might see that being pissed off is silly and act more civil

    And this has to be at or near my alltime record for the most inane, ridiculous post.

Probably explains more than you think, but nowhere near what it takes to understand me. I yams what I yam and it don't matter from where I yam! They broke the mold thank goodness. And I ain't changin either! I can be the nicest guy in the world, or be the biggest pr**k in the world, all based on how I'm treated first. Not one to start anything, but never one to back away from anything either. Might explain our wrestling matches here. We're probably a lot more alike than you'd like to believe or admit! ;)

That's how my 01 was.  If you held the lever in for a couple of hours, it would feel pretty good for a couple of days to a few weeks.  Then it would be back real mushy.  You could "fairly" easily get the lever to the grip.  Good luck with it, but I'm betting you'll at some point end up replacing everything and the master cylinder will "fix" it.

That's a neat idea for your Dad.  I grew up on a river off the Bay. Used to be a neat area to ride in.  Sounds like the creek is farther south than where I was, so that may not be as crowded.  It's still a good place to ride.  I'm sure he'll appreciate the rides.  Just something neat about a 45.

This is going to sound like the most stupid thing you've ever heard but how I do mine is that I fill the resevoir up and (with the lid off) move the lever back and forth a 1/8 or so and watch the loads of little bubbles comin up from the bottom of resevoir and just keep doin it (might take a while) and you should get a lever :bananarock: :bananarock: :bananarock:

Dammit guys.  When is enough going to be enough?  I enjoy the hell out of both of you.  Call you both friends.  And mean it in far more then the internet sense of a couple of geeks that type at each other now and again. 

You both make me laugh.  I'd trust either of you protecting Parker if for some reason I couldn't.  And I'd stand with either one of you.  But if you can't or choose not to get along then just leave each other the hell alone.  It's not amusing.  It ought to be embarassing.  But, most of all, damn it is boring.  And it sure as hell ain't recreation.

This silly site is a playground.  Nothing more.  You've each got friends here.  People you actually do enjoy sharing thoughts, ideas, banter or real life time with.  So why waste your efforts bitching back and forth with those you don't when you can have a good time with those you do?

Excellent suggestion Don. And Lord knows I've been trying that approach for quite sometime. I've ignored the BS as much as possible. Like I said, I start with no one. But when enough's enough, it's enough. If only one party goes about their business, but the other continues to throw things at the other, well what do you expect. I will stand up for myself as long as I'm alive. Site or no site. Many warnings have been given to knock it off. I can only comply on my end. I'm not responsible for the other end. And this isn't singling anyone out. It goes for those that know who they are that cause this repeatedly. Do unto others...and expect to be treated the way you treat people! ;)

Gotta love it when people find themselves in loud agreement (rather then disagreement).

So Howie is in.  Brian, I know you'd rather spend your time playing with those you enjoy too.  Willing to let bygones be bygones and just leave each other the hell alone too?  Please?

I'm in but please don't single Brian out. He's the least of the problem (although I must admit that's gotten a little better too. But it's still there, sometimes underlying, and mostly in fork-ed tongue)! ;)

Merely speaking to the moment. Also willing to trust the character of everyone enough that you and Big B leading by example will help with the entire choir.
