Bob, here's what I've found so far....
Cracking a bleeder on one caliper DOES free up both front brakes so as I understand it the master is the problem? There is no interference from the carpet or anything else keeping the brake pedal from returning. I adjusted the balance bar so the front (outside) master rod is approx. 1/4" longer than the inside. With the brake box removed (no pedal stop) the brakes still stick after pressure is applied and then released. The manual says that the back of the pedal should be about 7" from the front of the footbox, mine is about 6" but when I tried to adjust the rod lengths to move the pedal back I ran out of rod on the front master. ( it came out so I had to thread it back in enough to hold so I end up about 6" from the foot box again) I do still have the cast iron masters, can you tell me what all is involved in upgrading to the better system and the cost? Would I be better off to just replace the one bad master with a rebuilt same unit? Thanks again.
