Reply to "Intermittent brake failure"

Larry, sorry for the confusion. I was later told that the m/c got new seals and was tested on the bench.
I repeat, I‘m not an expert but if it was a vacuum or boost problem the pedal wouldn‘t go that far down without actuating the brakes. I would have pressure from the beginning but have to push damn hard on the pedal to get any braking action.
If one of the calipers had been blocked, the car would pull to one side or block the wheel.
I believe Simon is on the right track but I am still open for further suggestions or explanations.
I‘ve put a spare american style m/c on this evening. I‘m going to test this for a while. If you don‘t hear from me soon then it wasn‘t the m/c.
