Default Them's the Brakes!

Mystery time.

Bob and I spent a few hours and plenty of brake fluid trying to purge the brake lines on the HUP. No matter what we did, we ended up with more bubbles and marginal resistance on the brake pedal. The junctions were well and truely tightened and did not leak after the proper attention was paid to them. We did the recommended bleeding procedure found in any of the many Alex Blair Manuals, but came up short.

I think that the master cylinder is not fully sealed and induces air. Next weekend I will be tearing it apart to make sure that it was assembled correctly... Any other thoughts?
