First thing I would do is check the fluid level in the Master Cylinder, and bleed the brakes. Start at RR, then LR, RF, and end up at LF, making sure you keep the Master Cylinder full at all times. If that does not help, replace the Master Cylinder.First thing I would do is check the fluid level in the Master Cylinder, and bleed the brakes.
