    Clutch that's not,

    OK, I'm trying to figure out how come after a hard freeze overnight or over a few days my clutch suddenly looses pressure and I have to bleed it all over again. Anyone ever had this problem. Everything had been replaced during the rebuild three years ago and other then the first year in Upstate NY, it sat for a year here in the North East. I'm going crazy trying to figure it out.

    Maybe water in the lines that is freezing combined with a soft/failing flex hose?

      I would suspect water as well. When it freezes it causes the flexible line/seal to expand just enough. It might be subtle but are you losing any fluid as well?

        So far I am not seeing any leak. But that isn't to say I have one. I am trying to clean up the lines all the way back up the motor to see if I missed something. It would explain why I am suddenly loosing my preassure. I think I'm going to rebuild my line and reroute it better and hope that I don't have this problem any more....Thanks though for the thoughts.
