We "proved" that the booster was the problem when we pulled the vacuum hose off, the pedal rose back into normal position. However, now if it is adjusted 1/4 turn one way there are no brakes. 1/4 turn the other way and brakes are good, but the pedal gets sucked to the floor after a few minutes.Vacuum check valve is okay (verified). Brakes were bled. Thanks for good tries. The problem is not likely the M/C and down because the Booster rod is not bound to the M/C, it should just float back to position.

YOU NEED TO COMPLETELY DRAIN YOUR BRAKE FLUID , PUT IN ALL NEW. THEN YOU START AT FARTHEST BRAKE CALIPER AND BLEED.TO NEAREST. DO TWICE TO MAKE SURE ALL AIR IS OUT AND BUBBLES. THIS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT.
