so it's brake fixin' day today. The M/C is shot and has been spilling fluid into the brake booster - which has several ounces of fluid in it.

The booster holds vacuum and seems to be fine.

The question is ... should I take apart the booster and try to clean it out ( which seems like a pain in the ass job according to the FSM & I'm worried about doing more damage to the booster) or just slosh some 99% alcohol into the booster through the vacuum port and try to wash the brake fluid out?

whatcha'all think??
 
Pull the booster and dump the oil out..

I would not use alcohol on the diaphrams...

Ok - booster is pulled and washed out with alcohol - we'll see how it does!
 
locate a replacement booster just in case this one plays-out....I give it a month or so........
