Did you follow Busham's bleeding procedure?

No I sure didn't, I just refilled the reservoir and topped it off when it got low. Now that I'm reading it I have no new clamps left or a vacuum plug to flush. |
... be aware that the belt pulleys can also make noise, that sound like a dying pump. |
If I can't do a proper bleeding process, should I just suck out reservoir fluid and change it a few times. It's dirty already so I assume it's fixed with the old stuff still in the R&P |
If you can't remove the return line from the reservoir and cap the return nipple on the the reservoir, I guess the next best thing is to still follow the rest of Bushum's procedure, even though it will just dump the dirty fluid back to the reservoir?
But at least the air in the system would be purged.
But if the dirty fluid or a clogged reservoir filter is what killed the pump in the first place, then I don't know why I would expect a different outcome?
(Personally, I'd bite the bullet and get a new reservoir, with new filter, some rubber caps, a new hose clamp and do the full on Bushum procedure.) |
I did that, and I pulled three reservoirs full of fluid since I had 2 liters of new stuff. Seems to be much clearer and the sounds is gone.
