I suspect the same problem I had with my 164. Unbelievably the brake hose
swelled shut and acted like a check (Czech?) valve, allowing the high pressure
through to apply the brake but not allowing the low pressure back through to
release it. This has been a serious problem on the 140/164 models, and several
companies have put out better brake lines to eliminate this problem.

I don't know enough about the 240s to be able to say with certainty that this
is the problem but it sure does sound like it.

BTW I represent the "Experience Trust" a lot better than the "Brain Trust".
