This has been on the site a few times. Sounds like you have a stuck shaft problem. The clutch and both brakes use the same shaft. Pull the right pedals off and clean out the gunk grease. Makes a good glue. Next is linkage problems. When you take the brakes totaly apart did you clean out the tapered slots where the balls ride? They must be spotless. A small dab of hi-temp grease roll the balls around in your hand for a lite coating. Make sure you are not missing the little coiled springs that pull the plates together. Also make sure your out side return springs are good and strong. Rust will kill them.There should also be maybe 1/2 to 3/4 " free play between the edge of your platform and the cast frame of the pedal. I know there are other things but these are the real common ones. Jeff
