dannytrialskid Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) My echo tpa keeps unwinding after a while. I do it up to where it's comfortable. Then when I pull in the lever a good few times you can see it slowing unwinding, which after a while makes the lever go in too far for my liking. Has this happened to anyone else, how do I stop it? It doesn't do this on the other one. Also on my other echo brake the pin that holds in the lever keeps trying to come out, it doesn't do it on the other one. What can I do to stop this?

Mark W Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Threadlock will help the grub screw. Moving your cylinders in so you don't have to use your TPA so much will help for the other one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks, the cylinders can't really go in anymore, and I only do the TPA up about 1 - 1.5 whole turns so it's not much. Just annoying that I have to keep doing it back up. My friends doesn't do it, just don't understand why mine does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 May be that your tpa threads arent to the same tolerances as your mates. Its a simple thing thats no problem. Like wise, wind the tpa off, get some threadlock and then wind it in by the desired amount. Could be worthwhile. Im almost certain the Tpa on tr brakes has to be wound on a tad to stop the wiper seal on the piston protruding from the master cylinder. Says something on tarty under "additional information" that use of the brake in this way invalidates the warranty or effects the function of the brake. Dont hold me to that.

Dan6061 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'd find a small nut that fits onto the TPA bolt, and just nip it up when you've got it set up. Saves getting threadlock everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
