What through the bleed nipple on the gear box?.

Keep pumping it will come out.

I think the problem is I assumed the fluid level should be where the seam is on the resivour, I couldn't see a level indicator so iv let the fluid drop to near the bottom of the yellow strainer, keeping the fluid level at the top it so I think letting it drop has passed the clutch pick up , I could be wrong but hey ho, sorted now

I ran the reservoir low when it had the tt not realising where the top was like you but in all honestly it need to be topped to the top so you don't run low.

Post by: Johnsy on May 30, 2016, 06:22:22 pm: all sorted now,there was a bit of head scratching as there isn't an indicated level that I could see.
