Bill,
I recently was finishing up some work on my sons Sprite. Had no clutch.
Checked every thing possible, rebuilt Slave, no luck, rebuilt master, 
no luck. Finally replaced line between master and slave, along with 
cleaned up fittings, removed adapters, and step downs, used fittings 
on the lines that fit directly into slave hose and into master. 
Success!!
It was hassle to find fittings that matched the slave and master 
without adapters, but it was worth the effort.
