I drove my BJ8 over 2,000 miles on a road trip with a similar
problem, though it was more consistent. On teardown of the M/C I
found that the seal on the 'foot valve' was damaged. This is a seal
that closes the feed line to the reservoir when brakes are applied.
Simple test: Have someone work the brakes as you closely watch the
fluid level in the reservoir; if it rises or ripples when brakes are
applied that's your problem.<br clear="none">

<div dir="ltr">Greetings Healeyphiles,</div>
<div dir="ltr"> After a long winter's
rest, I drove my BJ8 for the first time this year and noticed
immediately that I had to depress the brake pedal far down
before braking began, but if I pumped the pedal a few times
the brake pedal commenced functioning more promptly. This
improvement was fleeting but reproducible. The brake fluid
reservoir is topped off. What might be the cause and solution
of this problem. Thanks for all help.</div>
