Spitballs (in descending order of likelihood; i.e. slim to slimmer):
- obstruction in the M/C<->S/C line (think of a BB lodged in the outlet
that falls out)
- pedal<->M/C linkage kinked, bent, jammed somehow
- M/CÂ and/or S/C seal stuck
- release bearing lever somehow worn/jammed (wouldn't likely 'repair
itself')
- S/C lever cocked or kinked
'Vapor lock;' i.e. air in the line would just result in a soft pedal
(and wouldn't heal).
