[QUOTE="mckeddie, post: 585024, member: 176"] Finally got my new buggy out today to test out. It has a new wilwood master and pedal installed by the previous owner. I've noticed after sitting in the driveway for a few days, the calipers lock up and I have to hit the bleeder valves on the front calipers to relieve pressure before I can move it. When we went out tonight, after driving for a bit, I notived it was losing power, then realized it was actually all 4 calipers starting to drag. By the time we got 3/4 of the way back to the truck, I was having to keep the pedal pinned to the floor to keep doing 5 mph until I finally overheated the engine. It's a manual master cylinder. Not sure if the bore, but it's rear engine buggy w the master mounted all the way at the front of the chassis. The reservoir is completely full, so I'm going to let some fluid out to allow for expansion when it gets hot, but that doesn't explain why it builds pressure just sitting there. any other suggestions? Would the rod being out of adjustment cause it to build pressure while sitting? [/QUOTE]
