Glad you got it working......My problem ? 1999 Dyna that I'm babysitting for my brother. On a test ride, I discovered rear brake pedal went all the way down with no braking. Filled fluid level with DOT 5 and checked for leaks (no leaks) .Followed line to rear brakes and had fluid when I pulled the line. Could the brakes just be stuck open from lack of use? Thanks to all you can help. I'm new to this community but look forward to being involved...
From a document that Jack just posted.
Master Cylinder Bypass Test
If you suspect an internal leak in the master cylinder, perform the
master cylinder bypass test. If, while the brake pedal is being
pressed slowly, the BRAKE warning lamp comes on, but there is no
indication of loss of reservoir fluid, the master cylinder may have an
internal leak.
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoirs and add fluid as
necessary. Observe the reservoir. Push the pedal all the way down
one stroke and release it. If the level of fluid in the reservoir rises
while the pedal is being applied and falls when the pedal is released,
the brake fluid is bypassing the pistons. The master cylinder should
be repaired or replaced.
As a further check, hold the pedal down firmly for two minutes. If the
pedal feels firm for the first minute then fades, the brake fluid is
bypassing the pistons.
