Re: My Brakes

[ldupliss@domain.elided]

Rik-  Pumping has no effect on the pedal or stopping, so maybe it isn't
master cyl.  I'll look at the vacuum line.  What should I look for (other
than the plastic valve adapter) to see that my vacuum is sufficient?

A restriction in the main brake line?  How do you diagnose that?  Is it
process of elimination?

Thanks,
Skip

P.S.  If I'm not careful, I might actually learn something about mechanics
: )

Start simple when checking your brakes out.  Make sure the plastic valve
that adapts the vacuum hose to the booster is patent.  Typically when a
master cyl is bad pumping the brake pedal increases braking.  Could there
be
a restriction in a main brake line?  If you don't have a vacuum leak
something might be binding up somehow.
