Go through each component one by one. Start with new brake hoses if they
are still the old fashioned rubber/textile construction. How old are
they by the way? Probably decades so renewal was probably well overdue.
Also flush the entire brake system with fresh brake fluid as there may
be some debris in it somewhere. Try again and if solved it may well have
been collapsed inner wall of one or both of the tubes. If not solved
adjust the rod on the MBC. Still not solved, renew or overhaul the MBC
and adjust the rod.
When rebuilding brake components do NOT use clean brake fluid but the
special brake grease from Até, Girling or equivalent.
Overheating is unlikely as that will generally lead to complete loss of
brakes.
