... and... whatever you do... DO NOT take it to JUST BRAKES.  :-)

Subject: Brake Problem , 82 Westy

A few days ago I acquired an 82 Westy that had been mostly parked for a
couple years. 1.9NA, 5 speed. The brakes mostly work ok driving around
but if I put the tranny in neutral as I slow for a stop the brakes will
be ok for the first push of the pedal but not if I let up and push
 again
right away. The pedal stops moving at about the same place but the
brakes don't slow the vehicle much.

Same going down hill, if I push in the clutch the brakes work for one
push but not after that.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Mark
82 Westy 1.6 replaced with 1.9D-NA
