Hi,
Before rebuilding the MC and buying a repair kit, it's better to dismantle
the MC and look into the MC when all the contents are out.
The bore is very narrow compared with a brake MC, so when the bore is pitted
it's hardly possible to correct this. Therefore a new MC than should be
considered.
I have been there....
Cheers,
Hans
