  1. 1 - You could have air or too much moisture in the system. Both tend to expand with heat and can cause binding. Moisture can build up in brake fluid which is why you want to change it every couple years.

    2 - The master and proportioning valve get built up with gunk in them which also plugs any ports and holes in these parts, restricting fluid flow. Easier to replace than repair since they usually end up being badly pitted or cavitated internally.  

  2. I keep wanting to go to the kitchen to turn off the kettle only to discover the kettle is not even on the stove.  I am sure the day will come when I let the kettle, boil dry cause I  figure it's just in my :doh:

    The older I get the more I believe in the here and after, sometimes I sit and wonder what I am here after

    So is that what you call it when you go from the house to the Garage and end up going back to the house just so you can remember what you went to the garage for ?

    It's all @saddlebumfault.. I bet he forgot all about it, and we've been acclimatizing. Should we wake him up? It could be disastrous.

    Suffern sucatash. Fail to go to the site for a day or two and ya start to get blamed for all sorts of stuff. Fact is all you ingrates, is the weather  has been warmer up here than down there of late, so being a good Canadian I left the door open so as to share some of our warm air with you. But if its closing the door you want than so it shall be.

    And by the way if by chance some cold air down there did come from  up here, it was @Marcarl doing. He is the one with the big meat coolers and egery now and again he just plum forgets to close the doors.

  5. Would it be plagiarism if I repeated those comments on the Canadian side of the border?

    But then I am not sure if other countries owe Canada any money since both Trudeau's tend to forgive any loans they give out with our tax dollars, since none of it comes out their pockets, though I am not sure how much of it ends up in their pockets, specially the back pockets.

    New development, heavily bogging down in the rain (it wasn't supposed to rain today but that's a rant for another thread 😆)

    Carb cleaner spray around carb and air intakes, no noticeable change in idle 

    I'm thinking weak (then none in rain) spark 🤔

    Wait for night fall then fire your bike up in the dark (also cover your head light). With a spray bottle spray your entire high voltage side of your ignition system with water while it is running and look for an early display of flickering Christmas lights.

    This will be a new area for me (the valves) but I'll have a look into that

    Even if they move freely if there was any sediment in the bowel some of it may have made its way to the valves keeping them from fully closing.

    Good to see you, nice of you to stop by and check up on some elderly folks. I was volunteering at the Thrift Store selling trees, it was a good day all around.

    I to went by as well took the low road as I wanted to stop in at Peavey Mart  for snow blower parts. saw your truck at the thrift store and was going to stop in to say hi but then The store called to remind me to pick up my Chum Chow (guess time flew by so I figured on stopping by the house after picking up my meat (and then some :whistling:) since it was near 2:00 now. But as I left the store I got a phone call from a friend with car problems and ended up heading right back to Burlington. 

    Glad yoy had a good ride though Phil. Maybe I will go out for a bit myself today, if I get my chores done in time.
