eurika!

Pete you were right. I pulled the clivas pin and the master rod could return another 1/4 inch I adjusted it then reconnected it. The only issue was the brake lights stayed on as the pedal was slightly pulled in by the master.

I then tightened the return spring and voila! I figure this ensures the master is fully extended.

I took it for a ride and it hauls! (well comparatively speaking).

I will adjust the brakes again tomorrow as the pedal had to travel a bit to engage. But when it does it is solid as always.

Will probably take a long ride first before adjusting.

I also pumped soem corn head grease into the sterring box. I am slowly replacing the stp I put in last year that is slowly leaking out. Can't wait to drive it agian tomorrow.
