When?: Cold - up to 5 minutes - intermittent. Short term cure: A mere tap of the clutch pedal instantly stops it. Eliminated (maybe?): No fluid loss, new master. Thoughts: Thought it may be carb leak, but a slight touch (slight!) to the clutch pedal stops it. Warmed up (180+), not a sound! Zero fluid loss from the master. Ideas? Cheers, Paul.
