Bleeding brakes on a trick scorpion?
raise the front end higher than back and gravity bleed them

Do yourself a favor and buy a brake bleed kit. Comes with a adapter that threads into your master cylinder and pushes fluid back thru the caliper. One person job.
Can you explain a little more, need to bleed my son's brakes and it's my first time.raise the front end higher than back and gravity bleed them
This is hit or miss.You do not bleed like a car, open bleed, press peddle, close bleed, release peddle, repeat. Filling reservoir as needed?
I am assuming the kit is by far the best.
no thanks, a $2.00 turkey baster does the same thingIf you cant find anything I can sell you one they are around $15. You can call me at the shop 240-362-4401 thanks
when you say cap off, do you mean leave the cap off, or cap it off.Jf's method is simply opening the bleeders and filling the reservoir.
Then do something else while the fluid creeps into the lines and calipers. Shut bleeders when you see fluid leaking out.
As stated, can be time consuming.
I prefer a modified version of this.
With the front raised 6-12 inches, full reservoir, cap off. Bleeders closed.
Depress brake pedal slightly. You will see a bubble in reservior. Release pedal, and listen. You will hear air bubbling in the reservior. Wait till bubbling stops.
Repeat until you hear no more bubbles.
Check by full depressing pedal. If spongy, but no more bubbles, depress pedal and crack bleeders one at a time. Closed bleeder before releasing pedal.
If no air comes out, check to see there are no other high points in the line.
Repeat the first part.
This works on karts, sport mods, and late models.
It’s true a Turkey blaster fits right in the master cylinder.no thanks, a $2.00 turkey baster does the same thing
Recommend inspecting brake lines and fittings before bleeding. The only time I’ve had a problem with brakes on the kart there was a pin sized hole in one of the lines.Can you explain a little more, need to bleed my son's brakes and it's my first time.
