Deadman Pedal

It looks like The Pedal controls an master cylinder, similar to a car. When the pedal is depress, it should remove the brakes and press a switch that starts the motor. The cylinder does not travel far enough to activate the switch. I check the fluid level and it was really low, I refilled it and still not working. Do i have to bleed the system? I notice a bleed screw on the cylinder?

I Could not see an fluid leeks either


Thanks

Bleed away air. might require new master if it ran dry for long. if it doesn't want to bleed try bleeding at the master cylinder pressure fitting it can lock air in there sometimes and you have to release that air first then bleed at the slave bleeder.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
