I have bled the brakes like crazy and all are adjusted right,or pretty close but still one pump before brakes,after that they work fine unless they are not used again for a few min. and then its one pump before brakes! I just rebuilt the wheel cylinders,master and replaced soft lines,no leaks.These are the good ole huck brakes so does this get any better or is this just what I have to live with useing stock brakes?
