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/C  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).
