I own a “73” 140 Cruiser with a hand brake, no toe brakes. Recently, when taxing I’ve noticed more travel in the hand brake before it engages. If I release the handle & engage the brakes again it firms right up. There’s no brake fluid leaks anywhere that I can see. The brakes still work fine, so I’m wondering if this is something to be concerned about?
