I'll give that a try, the po said it sat for a season but you never know. I did open the clutch cover and inspected the plates, they seemed to move freely when I took a couple of them out.
I'll probably buy a slave rebuild kit because after I opened the clutch cover and inspected everything, I tried to bleed it again and got no pressure on the clutch lever.

Did you accidently pull the clutch lever while the clutch pack was apart ? A tell tail sign of a slave leaking is paint removed under and around the slave cylinder.

While we are talking about clutch slaves, do not start your engine when your slave cylinder is off. I mean do not turn it over, do not start it, in fact remove the key..... :lol: :lol:
