Hello Bob, *et al.*,
Glad you're well. Here is south Texas we too are relaxing the
stay-at-home order and the older people (like me) are beginning to venture
out, if still maintaining safe separation. The 'younglings' seem to think
an *All Clear* has been sounded and they're back face to face. I wish them
luck.
I have had two, fresh from the box, M/Cs fail then a third, working
fine. I don't wish to directly name and disparage the vendor since they are
always quite willing to make things right, but their name does grow on the
'north side of the tree'. The question I ponder and why I am writing is to
ask is: How did your M/Cs fail?
In one of my unit's failures, fresh from the box, the front brake
circuit worked fine (that's the one closer to the booster) but the rear
brake circuit would flow no fluid. The second unit would flow no fluid
through either circuit! The third M/C worked perfectly and still works
great today!
Did I get two poorly or incorrectly rebuilt cylinders? Someone in China
just make mistakes? Did I do something wrong? Thus I ask: How did your M/C
"fail catastrophically?"
