          David,
          =

          I accept your suggestion: I will take some time off. Got a
          bunch of carbs to rebuild for folks this week. I won't be =

          back to the garage until the weekend.
          =

          I have had two different helpers and used several techniques
          but, the infamous dremel tool technique may be next.

I still suspect air in the lines. The clutch lines are difficult to blee=

Technique is also a factor - when my son operates the pedal while I open=

Ironically I am suffering problems similar to you. I have just rebuilt m=
