Would a power bleed help? I asked my neighbor he has one.

Yes, they move fluid through fast enough to carry bubbles with them. Usually.........

Don't know IF this has been resolved or not? But if the prob is a bubble that needs to go thru the caliper,but orientation is the prob.
Then unbolt the caliper and while removing from the rotor,slowly insert a piece of ? that's same thickness as rotor to keep the pistons in place.
You can then lift,rotate,macarana, whatever, the caliper,and do ya bleeding(instead of/or aid in lifting the buggy)

I think the problem is in the cutting breaks. Its higher than the mc or the calipers.
But, no it hasnt been resolved yet. I have been riding a buggy I bought off of lance-w. Which is scary fast I might add.

I just went through this nightmare in May. I found that the synthetic fluid was eating my internal seals in my master cylinder. I bought a new one and power bled them. What a time saver. If power bleeding does not work you might want to check the type of fluid. The guy that had it before me was running some kind of high temp fluid.
I feel your pain!!!!

I hadn't thought of that possibility.

I had 2 of them like that. His spare was trashed also. I could see the caliper move when bleeding but it was bypassing enough internally I guess to stop it from pumping solid. Same scenario enough to slow me down but that was it.

Yes I did, I pulled it up a really steep wall ( practically vertical) and stopped it a few times and pumped the he** out of them. Full nice petal ever since. Probably wouldn't hurt to bleed them now, but why mess with great breaks...lol They almost feel like they are rubbing a tiny bit on the pads. The pads are really good and thought they would just wet there self in after a little riding.
