I finally got my GB dizzy working which I got for christmas. Only to find that the brake fluid in the back reservoir had dissappeared and the brakes were going to the firewall. I poured more fluid in and still got no pressure from the master cylinder. I don't see any obvious leaks in the system. Is this obvious what the problem is?
Also the front brake drags as the front driver side wheel rotates at one point in the rotation.
My wild guess before taking things apart is the master cylinder is shot and the front brake disk is warped.
Thanks

I'd hazard to say your wild guess is dead on, in both accounts.

The rears are prone to fail if not adjusted, you'd be amazed how much fluid can hide in the drum. Make sure it isn't exiting there. Typically, if fluid is disapearing, there is a leak downstream...
If the master had air in it, you'll need to bleed the master and then the four corners to get it working again, but I'd search for the leak first or it is all lost effort.
