Front brakr resevoir problem.

rw said 2010-06-07 16:08

I bought this bike used with a front brake problem.
The bike was sitting for 6 yrs in a garage.
The lever has no resistance, very loose.
I used an allen wrench to open the screw for the brake fluid and it was full.
The cable for the brake lever connects to a plunger and moves it up and down but with no resistence.
The resevoir/master cylinder is behind the head light and behind a dozen very tight wire harnnesses.
Is there a quick fix for this problem or do I need to get a new resevoir/mastercylinder?
THANKS
