I'm working on bleeding my clutch (again.)
I have new master and slave cylinders that were not bench bled, and I've been unable to get pressure in the system since the install.
Currently, I'm doing the bleeding alone.
The technique I am using involves running a line from the bleeder valve back into the reservoir. The end in the reservoir is completely submerged, so it can not draw air back in.
I have bled two full bottles of fluid through the system previously, before doing this return line technique.
I currently have half-pressure, but not enough to fully disengage the clutch. I am pushing no air bubbles through the line, and fluid is flowing freely through it. I honestly have no idea what to do from here!
I ran into a friend of mine at Autozone (while I was shopping for a syringe to push the fluid through... another technique...) and he told me that the method Honda suggests is to pull the pedal up once, open the bleeder, push the pedal down once, close the bleeder, repeat. Until I get some help, I can't try that one.
So, does anyone have any ideas? The lack of air bubbles has me perplexed. The line is looped back into the reservoir, so any air that comes through should bubble to the surface, and not re-enter the system...
