So I have a 72 twin cam. Got it about 6 months ago. Its still has the stock dual booster setup. The brake peddle when depressed went down about a couple of inches then it stopped and actuated the brakes. Not long ago I took it out the peddle went down closer to the floor before engaging the brakes.
Was going to take it out this last time and the peddle went to the floor. Now I do have brake fluid to the correct level in the MC. Not sure what type the PO used however. No leaks anywhere on brakes or outside of boosters or lines. I will try to bleed brakes and fill with recommended fluid. I am thinking worst case, new boosters. Maybe MC. Fluid is getting more discolored so I am really thinking incorrect fluid breaking down seals.??
is there a way to check the boosters? I have done a few brake systems, but nothing involving testing a booster.
Just wondering if I should yank the boosters and bypass, or replace booster? I don't want to replumb the whole car at this point.
I have read through some of the deboostering forum chains.
Just curious the thoughts on this subject. Rebooster or Debooster.
At this point I just want to get her on the road. Any major brake upgrades will have to wait.
