I don't remember if I reported the full details of the solution to=20
backflowing in the master cylinder of a BE. The Goldilocks Solution:
1. If the master cylinder brake rod is too short, you can see fluid=20
squirting out of the small hole in the reservoir when the pedal is=20
released; pressure dies. Lengthen the rod until no fluid squirts out.
2. If the rod is too long, the brakes will seize up - immediately if=20
the rod is a lot to long, slower if it is only a little to long, with=20
the pedal getting shorter with each pump.
3. Between, the brake pedal gets shorter as the rod gets longer. Take=20
wrenches and drive around the neighborhood making very small changes=20
until the pedal is as short as you want it without locking the brakes.
