That squares with my recollection (though it's worth noting that not all MCs are the same, even among different flavors of hydroboost).

IIRC, the 1/2" fitting goes to the 1/4" line, which is for the fronts, and the 9/16" fitting goes to the 3/16" line, which is for the rears. Also, as mentioned, the larger reservoir is for the front brakes as more fluid flows up there.

I finally nutted up and bought a bottle for the welder. Size m.
I got an 11lb spool of wire too...happy not to be screwing with those 1lb ones anymore.
It was an expensive day. Ice sandwiches for food this week haha.

You've been running in flux? You'll love the gas!

Yeah it's been Flux since day 1 lol. I'm excited to make some presentable welds. Gonna practice some then start looking at the cage tonight.
I haaaaaaate flux core. Not sure what welder you have but you might have to reverse polarity.
I prefer flux core to stick welding...

Yeah I flipped the polarity. Welds seem ok but I'm fighting some sort of problem. I think it's a tension issue. I'll be welding and then the wire stops. I increased the tension a bit and it helped....Maybe I need more.
As in most scenarios, the answer is always MORE POWER. 
Are the rollers still going when that happens? Maybe it's time to replace the liner.
It's a practically brand new machine.

Yeah less than a year old. Maybe 5lbs of spool through it...
This is so frustrating. I just broke the wire finally. As soon as I start my arc the wire seems to stop arc, ball up and plug the tip. It's happened about 4 times now and I've changed settings every time. I started with a new tip...might put the beat up old one back in...
Still using 030 tips on 035 wire?

Theyre both .030

Makes sense. So there's the tension nut on the spool, which I need to loosen up a bit as tightening seem to make it worse.
There's also a tension setting for the rollers. I always went to 3.5 on that. Gonna see what the manual says.

Thats what's so weird is it runs fine but the minute I start an arc it sputters and screws up. Think I might swap in my loosey goosey tip that's battle hardened. Got the wire going right now...
