    Deuce Brakes

    Whenever I start my duece the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. After I pump it up 3 - 4 times, I get a good hard padel and everything works fine. IS THIS NORMAL OR DO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM?

    Pinhole in my air tank

    Same thing happened to me, I tryed to weld it but the hole only got bigger. Managed to get the air to stop leaqking but the only way is to replace the tank. I got a pair of good used ones from Colemans for $35.00. NEVER TRY TO REPAIR A PRESURIZED CYNINDER.
