don't give up on the front brakes yet, if your pretty sure you have all the air out adjust the front brakes with the rims on and so tight its hard to rotate the front tire, really dragging hard, you want the front shoe (leading shoe) to contact first then the following shoe

Once you get both sides done then bleed the brakes one more time and make sure your cables are as tight as you can get them without it moving the pistons.

Go ride it use the shit out of the brakes, with drums you usually have to make them wear to match the drums so might have to adjust them a few times after they are worn to match and you have them adjusted right you wont need to adjust them for a long wile and if you used Honda shoes its probably the last set you will need to ever buy.

With them adjusted real tight and dragging slightly you can over heat the drums enough where the brakes will lock up so take short rides at first check the temps so your not stranded from home or camp with locked up brakes lol

Once dialed in you can lock them up on pavement if you wanted and they are impossible to over heat.

Cool, I'm going to copy and keep this with me to try. Thanks
I'm one of those that can fix it, if I have all the parts and good direction to go by. However, if I have to fabricate stuff like you guy do I'm afraid of what the out come might be right now. "If it ain't bolt on, then it ain't going on" LOL. but I think this thing just may eventually change that.

Bung in the filler neck? it has a shut-off valve under the tank, that the fuel line attaches to, if that's what you mean. I'd have to buy a fuel pump and everything to connect it up, Would it be better/easier to get a carb that'll work the Gravity tank? or will have the same problem?

You need to add a bung in the filler neck above the "full level" for the return line when you add the fuel pump back on. You will have to drill a hole (be careful not to drop aluminum into the tank) and get a brass fitting (bung) to connect the return line to.

Yes, you will still need to use a vented fuel cap.

Plumbing is actually simple.

Here is the layout if you are using a Mikuni (aftermarket square) fuel pump.....

1.) The pulse line (from the crankcase) goes to the top of the pump.
2.) If you look at the picture below, the nipple that is closest to the center of the Ody is the line the runs to the carburetor and is also "T"d to the fitting you are going to put in the neck of the gas tank.
3.) The line that is pointing towards the fender of the Ody is the intake line from the fuel tank.

Now you will either need to obtain a Odyssey fuel "T" or you will need to put a .190 jet in the fuel line returning to your fuel neck. Without this restriction, you will get fuel starvation at full throttle.

Thanks go to DMoneyAllstar for the picture!
