Also what happens if you manually pull the lever up so it is definitely not applying the brake then ride it without ever using the rear brake. Does it come on by itself or only stay on after use?Try bungying the lever up while testing this to prevent it going on.Does the wheel turn freely while up on the stand?

Brake lever has been taken apart along with everything else and all seems really good. When it's all empty of fuid the lever has a really good full range of smooth movement and MC piston is moving really nicely.
The brake won't come on by itself if the piston is pushed back in and then never pressed back.
Wheel turns fine on the Abba stand with no caliper fitted or with piston pushed fully back in.
How much is too much fluid in the system? Doesn't it have to be full with no air in there?
