Default Brake problems driving me insane!!
just got it back out of storage, drove fine for 3 weeks then the brakes just die. Straight to the floor with little pressure build-up. unplug the Vaccum hose and pump and it builds pressure, hit a few bumps then they lose pressure again. hook the hose back up and take back off and plug, builds pressure again. go down the road it loses pressure again. any advice?

But with it changing when the brake booster has vaccum, would it be the seal between the two?
