When the brakes drag
1) crack the line at the master if they release its the master ()probably a issue caused by contaminated fluid this is never good the whole system is a issue) The contamination could be rust that acts as a check valve at the master.. If the issue is determined at the master it also could be the push rod adjustment at the master are the wrong master... It would need to be researched but I think you can up-grade to a master with a larger piston (displacement)... The way to determine if its a push rod issue is to loosen the bolts at the booster and check for release...
