Charles:
I have been having the same problem. The local LBC repair person said it
is the flexible hose expanding and contracting, causing me to lose some of
the motion in the slave. I am wondering if it gets worse when the hose is
warm because it expands more.
I just purchased a braided, racing style hose, hoping that will eliminate
the problem. I'll put it on latet this week when I have the chance. I'll
let you know what happens. If you get any brilliant ideas, I sure would
be open to hearing them.
Good luck,
Michael....in St. Louis or thereabouts
