When took core in, noticed pin size hole on top. Looks like some welding splatter hit the battery. Explains alot. So very happy now.
Next issue BRAKES!!! New brake master. New brake line, new banjos. Took off old caliper of another swing arm set up. Never use. I've bleed it probably 10 times no bibles. I can feel good pressure in system. It does have brakes. But not it should. Oh ya, got new brake disk to. Happened to look at brake disk, and notice didn't look like all the pads where connecting fully. Checked old disk. There is clearly a difference. Old one can see disk connecting up 4 holes. What I'm getting now with this setup, is half that. But can tell othere half is connecting, but barley. So is this my problem?
If so, is it just pads uneven, and just let where down to they get full contact? Or is this a caliper issue?
Also. Notice how dark the connection point is compared to the old one. Do I need clean pads, or normal for, let's say new pads?

Just a quick tip, anytime you weld on the buggy always disconnect the battery, unplug both the stator and cdi. The high amps during welding can short these out through the ground.
