All brake and clutch lines are new and tight. Thanks for the thought.

Hi Richard,
If you are getting a good pedal on the first push I don't think that air in
the system is your problem. My guess is that the brakes need adjusting and
that possibly you have a restricted brake hose.
I would recommend carefully clamping off the brake hoses (just enough clamping
to prevent fluid flow) one at a time to determine whether the problem is in
the rear or in one of the front brakes. At least that way you know where to
concentrate your efforts.

I spent the day replacing the brake master cylinder (and clutch too). I'm
getting good braking with a little travel on the first pressure. The next
push
gives less pedal travel with again good braking. I need to re-bleed, I'm
guessing.While bleeding the right rear, I had a leak at the right front
wheel.
Is that a good guess as to where to begin? Or back at the master cylinder?
Thanks for all the earlier advice.
