I'm having trouble bleeding one of the Matco MC-1s on my KFIII rebuild. The fluid
won't flow up from the brake to the reservoir at the rudder peddle. I've
disconnected the reservoir from the rudder peddle to make sure the piston is
fully extended but still no good. The lines are not pinched. Do I need to start
pulling the brake itself apart ?
thanks,
EG

EG, Don't be afraid to call Matco. I called them with a problem and they
diagnosed it correctly over the phone. My pedal and linkage was binding up
and the piston was not returning to top. It was only about a 1/16th of an
inch. But, that was enough to not let caliper pressure relieve and release
the brake.

I had a similar issue a couple of years ago. I changed the bleeder valve to
standard aircraft bleeder valves and the problem went away.

Take out the bleeder screw at bottom of caliper
Clean it out with a tiny drill like 1/16 " my hand -- it likely plugged.
I put up a few more Kitfox videos today on you tube
one is lost ASI
other is Fuel tank plumbing
Off flying now before dark :)
