<VV> dual master conversion

[Tony Marinovic]

It was not bench bled, as the instructions state that bench bleeding is not 
necessary. 


The installer bled the system twice before buttoning up. I'll bleed them 
again this weekend and see if that corrects the issue.

If it’s a new master cylinder from Clark ’s, that’s not the first place to 
look.  Was it bench bled before installation?

Thanks so much everyone for your replies. It seems I've got some homework to do. 
I was planning on being lazy this weekend.....oh well.
 
To answer a few things, the unit is a new Clark's unit. I did specify 1964, so 
if the bore is too large, maybe they sent a wrong unit? 

 
Thanks again everyone.
Tony

The other question is, what master cylinder was used?  Corvair or
something else?  Having a master cylinder with the wrong piston size
might account for the need to use both feet.

Hi Tony,

It sounds like something is wrong - the dual m/c should feel just like
the single.  I would check the pushrod length and re-bleed the system.
