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