[BFix] hydraboost question

[Todd Zuercher]

It's unfortunate that Paul at Hydratech doesn't take tech calls anymore.  In 
the long run, I think it's going to hurt him.  I second the recommendation 
to search classic - it's been discussed many times with the home-brewed 
setups.

I'd generally say it's two things:

1.  the booster pushrod-to-master cylinder distance isn't correct.  However, 
if you bought a pre-packaged Hydratech setup then that should not be an 
issue.
2.  your system is pretty new yet and there's still air in the system. 
Paul's documentation states that you should drive it 500-1000 miles before 
assuming all the air is out of the system.
