i use this way almost everitime i must bleed a caliper
it s really effective
with some brand of caliper (ajp) it s almost the sole way to do....
but always remember to check the pad before, remove the used or worn and clean the caler piston and protect your paint, because by this way the oil can jump high and destroy paint and plastic , especially dot5

Anyone know off the top of their head about how much brake fluid goes in these 50cc chinese scoots? The farm stores biggest syringe is 35 milliliters....at least thats what I saw.

Look in the two stroke oil area, there is a larger syringe - maybe 300ml used for measuring the oil to mix with gas. And maybe will hold up to brake fluid longer than the rubber used on normal medical syringe

just be certain not to fill it all the way to the top. otherwise the vacuum you create may make it difficult to remove. do it like the guy in the vid. he only filled about halfway leaving some room for air. |

[replyingto=ramblinman]ramblinman[/replyingto]This is a great idea,,
I always end up pumping my lever for 20 minutes before I get any lever feel...great idea!

I had a few problems. I had to ziptie the hose that came with the syringe- it popped off the end of the syringe making a mess. The syringe is not the easiest to work with- once it gives in to the pressure you apply it's easy to go crazy with it, just ask my ceiling in my garage....
I'll do it again and take my time with that syringe.

This is wrong approach, because it forces all seals in the brake system to work in the opposite direction they designed to, soaking all dirt inside.

It's an interesting point that you made though, as I'm fairly ignorant about how the whole "system" works. With that being said, the rubber piece that's attached to the bottom of the cap you unscrew to the master cylinder, is all messed up and coming off the cap. My brakes are actually working better after the fact(not dragging AS bad when moving the scoot backwards), but the cap needs replaced. I'm tempted to just --replace the whole system--- it doesn't cost much. |

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]Hi Ally-I have just got a Magnum Q6 3 wheeler with a manual that has little or no information that means anything. Hopefully you can help me.
First I have found a small black box attached to the left handle bar ,to the right of the left brake handle. This box has a view glass in it and I am assuming it may be a brake fluid container although there is no information in the manual about brake fluid .If this scooter uses brake fluid ,where can I get information regarding what kind of fluid ,how much to use and where do I put it in.Cars I know,but this is new to me .At present the glass shows it is half full ,but does not show as even across the glass.The fluid shows a slight slant across the glass,also behind the box there is a small lever.Can you give me advice on this unit and servicing of same?
Second question is this scoot has a differential gear.Would this be the same as what we use to call the cabbage head on a car>? If it is does ,will it need servicing ? I can't seem to find a place to drain or refill this part.
Also would there be a transmission drain and refill like the two wheel scooters?
Lastly ,and what is a real pain to me and I hope you may just have some knowledge on this problem.'This scoot has a seat opener that is operated by turning the ignition all the way to the left and supposedly the seat will pop up.I have contacted a number of so called techs and no one seems to know what to do. I have got suggestions such turn key to left and swat the seat. About three time since I got the scoot in the end of June Have I got the thing to work .Now id does not work at all.I have taken all the plastic and such off the rear and looked at the switch and when you snap the trigger it seem to open OK ,but when you try to turn the key CCW it doesn't do anything .The cable where it connects to the switch has a little sag to it ,but does not pull to release the lock bar. I have taken off the rubber protector around the lock mechanism ,but the lock unit seems to be connected from the rear ,and there is no place to get into the rear except ,from my view is to take all the whole from end plastic off,which I really don't want to do unless it is the last minute resort.I sure hope you have some suggestions to my problems . If there is no possible way of repairing the seat lock I guess I could just take off the lock,and leave the seat open.The one reason I would like to have a lock is that the battery is under the seat right at the rear end . The whole locking mechanism sure isn't very reliable. You have given me good answers in the past,I hope you may have a little knowledge for me this time
Thanks Ally Verne

Hi Crawdad,
Yes, the little black box with the site glass is your Hydralic Reservoir. It is ok if the fluid level shows half full on the glass. The reason it looks a little slanted is because your trike is either not level and or the Reservoir is not mounted level and or you handlebar is turned a little. The cover on the Reservoir should say to use DOT3 or DOT4. As far a how much you fill it to about 1/8 of an inch from the top of the Reservoir.
The small lever behind the Reservoir is either your EMERGENCY BRAKE HOLDER or your REVERSE lever. But if it is behind the Reservoir sticking out a little over the BRAKE HANDLE it is your EMREGENCY BRAKE HOLDER. How you work that is SQUEEZE the brake and PUSH THAT LEVER FORWARD and it will lock the brake on. To release just squeeze the brake a little it is spring loaded.
As far as the Differential I would have to see the Axle on the trike to tell you what is what so if you could take a picture of the rear of your trike and put it up that would be great. If it is a STRAIGHT axle and the Differential is part of the AXLE like a cars and it has a SPROCKET attached to it then the differential takes GREASE and it should have a grease nipple on the differential. I buy the small grease tubes and I put in 1 small tube about every 2 miles.
Yes it does have a Tranny Fill and Drain plug to lube the tranny gears.
As far as the seat, you will have to adjust the cable it is very touchy since the KEY only pulls on it very slight so not much movement with the key to open the seat. What I would do is run a piece of wire or strong thin rope or to make it nice get a manual choke and attach that to the outside under the front of the seat and then you can just pull on it to open the seat. I do not trust those key openers there is not much of a pull on the cable. And if it just a little off 1/8 of an inch it will not open the seat.
Hope this helps
Alleyoop
