Hi, I am really having trouble bleeding my 82 750's brakes, fitted new banjos, nipples and pads. but cant seem to get any brake lever pressure, they will pump up slightly but then just go again, no air coming through now but still no brakes. I put about 4 liters trough over about 2 hours but still no good. Tools sugested bleeding from bottom up but I havent got a pump can, to do that. Never failed on brake bleeding before. Help..

Go get a pump can. It's the only way to bleed a dry system. Any hardware store will have one.

Yea. Something like that. Mine is not near that fancy though  If things had went a little different back in 1776, I might have been in the UK.  I am right dead center in the middle of the USA.  Kansas City MO. However I would love to someday tour Europe. I would love to see where they filmed "Last of The Summer Wine."

That is exactly correct.
Here are some more acronyms:
SNAFU : Situation Normal, All Fouled Up (typical response to a problem that won't resolve)
FUBAR : Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition (SNAFU, only worse and possibly unrecoverable)
TMI : Too Much Information (usually said in response to information that's just too personal)
KISMA : Kiss My Shiny Metal A$$ (favorite saying of Bender on Futurama)
Just a few of my favorites.
Any luck with resolving the brake problem, or is it FUBAR'd?

It's a UK postcode. It's like a zip code but much more specific and much more helpful. Each 7 digit code covers a group of typicaly 10 houses. If you type his post code into a google earth or iphone maps search it will take you there. They use the same system in Canada. No one does it but if you put the person's name and postcode on a letter, nothing more, it will get there. The system was introduced some time in the 1970s if I remember correctly.

You know that is funny because over here every time a new, or improved product comes out, it is marketed as European. Or "millions sold in Europe, or developed in Europe." Are, you now telling us that in Europe new/improved products are marketed as American?  TOOLS

Glad I could help you with that but 9 pounds (my keyboard doesnt have the symbol for that) for it? Crap thats like 15 USD (just guessing at the conversion of 1.6 in my head). The one at harbor freight would have been about 2 pounds for ya. Too bad they dont have them over there.
Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to god one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window.
