| Ok.. i've got a completly rebuilt brake system on my super, It works fine.. but if it sits for more than a week and i drive it the brake pedal feel competly flat. But after i drive it it goes back to the top of the peadal like its sposted to. Is this right? also how much foot pressure should i have to put into the brake? |

sounds like a bad master, or a fitting is loose allowing fluid to bleed out and air to get in, or the front to rear metal line has a pin hole in it. did you replace that line too?. have you had to ad any fluid to the resivour?
could be a leaky wheel cylinder and it has not pissed out enough fluid to show a wet backing plate yet.
how about adjustment, have you adjusted the shoes up?
is the brake rod from the pedal assembly adjusted to the master correctly?
also check the rear of the master to see if it is leaking out the rear where the rod goes in. |

Pretty wierd, did you bench bleed the master before you put it on or did you do it dry and pump the pedal alot to get the system bled?
when it stops snowing... LOL look at the back of the master behind the rubber boot.
fluid had to go somewhere... |

| Could also be the blue lines to the master cylinder are leaking fluid. Sure sounds like a bad master cylinder though. |
