Ben,

 

This may be far fetched, but..

 

Several years ago I swapped out a bad mc (5000)  with one out of a parts
car. Pedal was low and had difficulty bleeding. After a lot of head
scratching I finally figured out the mc was different.. Wasn't getting any
pressure until the pedal was just about to the floor.  Then I discovered the
small adapter lying on the ground where I had removed it from the parts
car.. 

 

Does the plunger length seem correct? Understand the bias issue and
everything previously addressed, but would think a stationary vehicle would
still build hydraulic pressure regardless of bore/caliper sizes! 

 

Understand this may be applicable on only 5000's/200's, but thought I'd
throw it out there!

PS: On my list of things to do is install the Chuck P brace I've had for a
couple of years now. Upon initial install attempt I discovered my 200 20v
had the mc and booster replaced along the way with the shorter versions
which causes interference with the bar and mc reservoir. Need to swap the
set-up from the parts car so the bar will fit!
