Bob,
Check the condition of the hose that attaches between the brake servo
and the valve cover. If the hose is old it may be collapsing upon
itself and losing its vacuum and therefore your brake servo assist. If
it isnt this then I would suspect the servo itself.

Subject: Oh Mama, Almost no brakes!
Hi Listers,
Yesterday I went to New Hampshire and noticed that the brakes were
working poorly. The pedal seems unusually hard and it takes a great
deal of
pressure to get minimal braking. Over the winter all the brake hoses
were
replaced as well as the pads, shoes and the M/C. I don't see anything
wrong, and with the car on stands, the brakes seem to work, at least
minimally. Any suggestions appreciated.
