Hydroboost slow pedal release
I'm running a new astro hydroboost, pump, and remote reservoir.
I have the pressure out of the pump into the hydro, then out the hydro into the steering box, then into the return on the pump.
The hydro's return goes to the resevoir, which has a larger return to the pump.
When I step on the brakes (engine running only), they stay locked for a number of seconds.
What would you check ? I'm thinking either weak return spring, or perhaps the reservoir needs to be lower than the hydroboost unit. (which would be impossible).
