Okay everyone, I know I keep bugging everyone, but this problem is still
driving me up the wall. I rebuilt MC 3 yrs ago and less than 500 miles. I used
silicon grease around the bleeder screws to stop bleed by. Then I used a
handpump style brake bleeder at each wheel cylinder to breed the brakes. I had
the wife at the MC pouring fluid in steadily as I went. I flushed the whole
system out with new fluid. Without the booster pedal is hard, usually requires a
second pump to get a great pedal, but still not soo hard I cant stop. With the
booster the pedal seems too easy, but still grabbing only about 1/2 inch off the
floor. Now being only 32 years old, I never knew how these pedals felt new, but
It seems a little weird they should have such a long pedal stroke before
stopping. Can anyone with a working 56-61 with the stock setup tell me how far
and how solid the pedal should feel with the booster working!?!? I cant think of
anything else I can do, I mean its not like the fluid is completely leaving the
lines between each pedal pump, and the system is semi vented around the MC
cap(no rubber seal around screw down bolt), and everything else is new.
Any help is soo greatly appreciated as I am going crazy here!!!!!!
