We have had this thing for several years and it’s always worked great. A few weeks ago the brake pedal went to the floor and won’t pump and pressure. I replaced the master cylinder and I still have the same problem. It won’t pump up to bleed the brakes. It still acts like a bad master cylinder. I cannot find any leaks. Any ideas? I’m going to bleed the master cylinder again this weekend. 
thanks

You have a leaky rear brake cylinder.  When air gets in there, it's nearly impossible to bleed the brakes- the pedal just goes to the floor.   But the trick I used was to open the bleeder valve in the rear cylinder, then pump the brakes rapidly until fluid squirts all over the back, then bleed as normal.  The pedal pressure should come right up.  Then don't let the fluid level get low, or replace the rear caliper unit, either way.

I worked at getting the air out of the rear calipers and started to get pressure back to the brake pedal. Once the pressure came back found the leak in the steel line running to the back brakes. Replaced it and all is good, the for the help.

      Hello All,
      We have exhausted all possible troubleshooting steps, now we are in need of some help. 
      Vehicle cranks but will not turn over. Things we have either replaced or tested and are now known good:
      1. Fuel pump (new)
      2. Fuel sensor (new)
      3. Fuel injector (new)
      4. Battery (new)
      5. Spark plug (new), spark tested
      6. fuses (12v to all)
      7. we have 12v at the injector module and 11 ohms resistance
      8. we have fuel in the fuel line to the injector
      9. we have fuel at the spark plug
      10. we have injector pulse, verified with noid tester
      11. brake safety switch tested (couldn't find a separate switch assuming it is using the brake light switch)
      12. seat belt buckled and seat in place (again, not sure if this model has these features)
      13. replaced air filter
      14. replaced several air hoses
      15. flushed radiator and replaced with diluted antifreeze
      16. Drained and cleaned the fuel tank prior to replacing the fuel pump.
      Any ideas, we are open to....Help!!

      Riding out today it acted like it ran out of gas,  stalled and died and would not start.   Towed back to house,  New  plug added this past month,  plenty of oil, getting plenty of gas, battery cranks good.   Trys to kick in and starts but doesnt.   Two days prior while sitting at a idle it died.  Added gas and it started did my ranch chores with it.  But just now it stalled out cranks but will not start.   Tried to find if fault codes came up on the clock like manual says but not sure I am doing that right.  Any and all help apprecated.  Thank you

      My older LM 650 is blowing fuel into the air cleaner.  Any idea on what would cause this?  It is the Suzuki motor.  Not sure what model year it is.
      Thanks

      Hi All
      Just installed a predator 670 on my Landmaster. My question is can I remove the low oil pressure wire fitting and plumb my mechanical gauge into that access point?
      Thanks in advance for your advice !!
      Jim
