| While traveling at about 40 mph on flat paved road the brake warning light came on. when i tested the brake, the pedal went to the floor. the warning light went off then flashed back on. on the second or third pump the warning light did the same thing. at that time i had regained a very soft and little brake. upon inspecting the brake system it was found that the brake line aft of the left front wheel, behind the inter-fender cover where it passes over the frame member had failed due to serious rusting and had burst. | |||
