    WELLLLLL--ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE A RETURN SPRING TOO LONG/STRONG AND IT IS PULLING THE PEDAL BACK FROM AN INPROPERLY ADJUSTED LINK to the master(endplay on pedal push rod)
    Make a stop for whereever you want the pedal to rest at top of stroke and then adjust the pushrod length to have the proper free play on the master-----
