Default Got the brake light on too

My red light came on a few weeks ago, and I discovered I had no fluid in the rear brake reservoir (turn-key build, so I'm guessing it uses the MII prop valve).

I've added fluid and bled the rear system, bled the right front, and pumped the brakes, but still can't get the light to go off.

I took a test drive around the neighborhood, and the car stops just like it did (when the rear system was dry, the pedal had a little extra travel).

Does the adjustable valve work with the "stock" reservoir? Any way to reset the prop valve without taking it apart?

Thanks,

JLW

PS - I've also got an issue with hard stops. When I hit the brakes hard, the engine wants to die. Am I just emptying the rear float bowl, or might I have a vacuum issue?
