Landed at Willows, Ca last Saturday and discovered no left braking action on roll out. No fluid leaks observed, resivor full. Both pilot and copilot, no left brake. In reviewing various related threads it is clear the Cherokee (79 Archer II) brake system is a unique engineering design. Five master cylinders? In series? Dick Russ wrote a good article on bleeding brakes however I'm having a difficult time trying to understand how the pilot, copilot and handbrake can all lose one side of braking. I thought the obvious reason would be something related to the left wheel cylinder/brake, but that does not seem to be the case. Any ideas?
