You need to write properly, with periods at the ends of sentences, as well as bleed and adjust the system properly. Everything works when done correctly, otherwise, you get paddled.

If you are confident the you have bled all the air out of the system, it could be the that the over center spring needs adjustment. Increase tension on the overcenter spring using a 11/16" open end wench on the adjusting nut until pedal will not return to normal position when actuated. Back off adjusting end nut approximately 1 1/2 to 2 turns or until good pedal returnability is achieved.

And don't forget to lubricate pedal bushings. Lack of looby can cause the no return pedal. :thinking :thinking :Thumbsup :Thumbsup
