Post subject:  No Brakes!

Ive been away at work for the last few months. Got home, jumped in the Volare & she fired right up! Running great.
Went to go for a lil spin & I noticed that the brake pedal now goes alllll the way down! I can get just a lil bit of braking action.
Havent popped the hood yet. Ill take a look this afternoon.

May have to take the drums off if nothing is obvious.

I got it filled & its a lil better, but I cant see any leak when i pump the brakes... Have to pull a tire off when I get a chance

Which reservoir was low? IIRC the larger rearmost one feeds the front brakes.

They both were, but the rear one took a few times to top up. I definately got some feel back, but they need to be bled down.
