OK, I finally finished rebuilding my M/C last night. But let me tell
everyone what not to do, as I almost destroyed a perfectly good (albeit
dirty, igave up trying to clean it) reservoir. The rubber seals that go
into the holes that the reservoir sit on must ride inside of the m/c. I
mistakenly inserted them with the large end on top. As can be expected the
seals placed too much distance between the m/c and the reservoir (about 1/4
inch) I assumed it must be new seals and you have to compress it some,
tight fit makes better seal, right? Well by the time i was done I had
elongated the plastic hole that one of the pins goes through virtually
making it worthless. This was about the time I woke up and realized what I
had done wrong. It is now assembled correctly (large part of the seal goes
INSIDE the m/c) and as far as I can tell the three other holes are enough
to hold it tight. But man is it irritating. Thanks
