    I agree with Jeff, it is the residual valve keeping pressure on the front end. Same thing happened to my Kid's T, front brakes started dragging after a short drive. We pulled the guts out of the front residual valve so it is now just an empty connection for the two lines, and the problem went away.

    They tell me some master cylinders already have a residual valve built into them, so maybe the doubling up was the issue. I bet if you take a drill bit and run it down through the front residual valve like we did, you will be fine.
