Wow, sorry Dave. I don't always convey in writing just exactly what I'm trying to say. Perhaps I should sue the Albuquerque school system. ;0)
My point about feeling the stages of the pedal "without any fluid in the thing" was to tell everyone that the pedal does travel free and fully without any binding. After filling and bleeding the brakes the pedal felt correct. I did post pictures of my proportioning valve, but I don't know how they work. I was just trying to eliminate parts that could be restricting flow - that's why I asked.
ABS told me that the "throw" should already be adjusted correctly from them. They doubted very strongly that I could have tried two different setups with that problem. You said, "Other Squarebird members successfully use the ABS setup (for years)". That's exactly why I'm using this forum. Hopefully if someone else received a M/C setup from ABS with the same problem they could help me. I'm pretty sure they would have spoke up if they had to remove the M/C and adjust the throw.
This car is just a hobby, and I only have time to work on it every couple of weeks, hence my troubleshooting and follow up with this thread is a bit sporadic.
I agree that you should be "done with this thread". It obviously aggravates and frustrates you that I'm not a mechanic and don't understand how all these things work. Being that I paid the sites registration fee I'll continue to use the help of anyone on this site that would like to provide any input to my endeavors. However I fully understand if you've reached a point where you've run out of patience. This isn't rocket science, I'll figure it out eventually.
regards, Dave J
PS: I'm not sure why you didn't PM me with your last note, it seems like you're taking all this a bit personally. I certainly hope you're not aiming to get others on this site to alienate me.
