after several hours yesterday and today i got my berg back together.
It is now flushed of all the sealant that caused the blockages. It has new C4 stronger main bearings, sprag clutch and had the ok from mechanic.
It thankfully spluttered into life this evening.
I took it gently 200 yards down the road intending on dropping oil on return. I got to the turnaround point and had 1st engaged with clutch in as i waited on passing traffic. I revved it slightly and it lept forward as clutch suddenly disengaged and it died. I started it again and it would appear clutch wont engage. I pushed it back and into the garage. I then noticed that the resevoir cover had 1 screw loose. I am hoping it is the culprit but am unsure. I have taken the lower housing off to inspect and am intending on bleeding the system. I have no experience with these things at all. I did a bit of research and I see that using the syringe method seems best via back bleeding. Is it possible to bleed by raising the housing above the resevoir and pumping without syringe? As that would be my only option until tomorrow.
My main question is.. how much should the pushrod extend out of the housing (from fully in) when the clutch lever is pulled? I am trying to gather whether that is the problem or whether I have an internal problem. At the moment it moves out about 1-2mm.
othwerwise the bike runs just fine thankfully so im glad to have it álmost' back :?
