Thanks to all who responded so quickly.
> ...preventing the pedal from coming up all the way.
The problem I have with this explanation (and all similar) is that if the pedal doesn't come up all the way it would also start its next journey down from that same depressed position. (My clutch pedal is depressed? Should it see a therapist?) Displacement at one end equals displacement at the other, and the total volume in the system shouldn't change unless one moves and the other doesn't. On the other hand, I can't discount all y'all's experiences either. they certainly fall in with Dave M's suggestion that the fluif return valve isn't working.
Time for new hydraulics unless I happen to have rebuild kits already on my shelf and the cylinder bores are in good shape. In any case, I really needed one more thing to do. :-)
Tanks again!
