Thanks to those who replied with helpful hints on unsticking my bleeder valve. This afternoon (when I should've been riding) I bled the brakes and cleaned out the master cylinder.
Actually, the components inside the master cylinder looked brand new, no deterioration at all. The fluid wasn't black, it was a murky reddish brown, and it did have some brown sediment in it, clogging the ports in the reservoir.
I suspect the calipers will need to be rebuilt. Where's the best source for a caliper rebuild kit?
Any tips for tackling that one? Thanks to all who reply.
