Brake booster elbows strike again: Isn't it the #1 air leak ?
Sure that is your problem. When my Westy stalls at every stop ( no idling ), I know the right elbow has poped out again. Back on, everything is back all right.

Ha ha... when my motor races and the brakes go to manual, I know my LEFT elbow has popped out. I've got that fixed now.

How come, my brakes don't go manual when my RIGHT elbow pops out ?
How did you fix it ? Did you find and cure the cause of the poping out ?
