My BE master cylinder is backflowing into the reservoir when the pedal=20
is released; I can see it. The pistons are Gerard's; the rubber bits=20
are new. I am not sure what else is new, as it was rebuilt when not=20
needed by the same mechanic who advanced the cam 18 degrees.
Long ago, there was a problem with the mushroom-shaped plastic bit on=20
the outer end of the spring. That was replaced by Gerard. Also, Gerard=
=20
and others have suggested that the rear brake springs can suck up fluid=20
if the pads are loose; with the emergency brake set, that should not=20
happen.
It seems to me that there can be only two causes: 1) The check valve=20
has failed. 2) The push rod is the wrong length exposing the hole into=20
the reservoir when it should not.
Any advice?
