Thanks for the responses.
Eric. I'll check out the brake switch. I'm suspicious of it anyway, as I get a slight engine shudder at the actuation point in the pedal travel ( ? )
The MICO brake is the high point in the system and could be my source of air entrapment.
GTK. The pedal returns just fine. In fact I can pump it up if I depress it a few times, but then it goes back down the next time.
casebro. There was a post in the last forum by JOE_Denver that was very similar to my symptoms. His resolution was to adjust the heels, so I gave it a try.
All. Really....the brakes are supposed to drag at all times? Seems like a good way to build up excessive heat and warp the drums. If they are to drag....how much?
Randy. No, I didn't bench bleed. For some reason it didn't seem logical at the time. Fill it with fluid and then it all leaks out the outlet. Maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks to all. I've got some things to try tomorrow.
