I apologize for my skimpy information earlier. The age of the booster is
unknown, but the entire brake system front to rear has been rebuilt within
the past year or two including a new master cylinder. The brake hoses are
not rubber, they are uprated flexible metal hoses. The calipers were
rebuilt by Apple.
One other thing, when I press on the brake peddle the engine wants to die.

Ashford,
Any other information? Age of brake components, particularly hoses?
Calipers orginal, or repaired, rebuilt or replaced? Pads worn or new?
Sometimes when the brake pads get low old caliper pistons can get stuck as
they come out farther and may run into "crap" on the outside of the piston
that cause them to stick some.
I am sure others will have suggestions.
