Ashford,
Have you tried disconnecting and plugging the hose to the booster? I
would think doing so would mean you would have to press the brake
harder for it to work but if you had no problems other than having to
press the brakes harder then you would have isolated the problem within
the booster. Do you have the old write-up on the brake booster that
used to be on the buckeytriumphs website? The write up was quite
detailed about the workings of the booster. It has been awhile since I
read it so I dont remember the specifics.

Subject: RE: Faulty Brake Booster?
I apologize for my skimpy information earlier. The age of the
booster is
unknown, but the entire brake system front to rear has been rebuilt
within
the past year or two including a new master cylinder. The brake hoses
are
not rubber, they are uprated flexible metal hoses. The calipers were
rebuilt by Apple.
One other thing, when I press on the brake peddle the engine wants to
die.
