Default Line Lock help?

Installed the Hurst unit, bled the system(5 times)until there was no evidence of air in the lines. Solenoid engages,(and does engage the brakes) but doesn't hold the car still during the burnout <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Keep bleeding off the lines....or is there something else I could look at? TIA!.......

pull up, come to a stop. pump the brakes a couple times then engage the line lock while holding down the brake.

If it still pushes the car when trying to do a burnout, check for leaks while someone pumps on the brakes. I ended up having a few leaks on mine (that I found at the track AFTER driving 120 or so miles to get to it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> )

xaon is right. Sometimes you have to engage the line-lock and then pump the brakes a few times to build up enough pressure.

Good luck.
