I suspect your hydraulic accumulator is not maintaining a pressurized
reservoir of hydraulic fluid.  This could be due either to a really
leaky check valve or loss of gas pressure above the hydraulic fluid
bladder.

When I drove it, the brake pedal pulsated every time I pressed it.  Brake fluid level is fine (system was recently flushed and new brake lines installed).
