Subject:Bleeding clutch hydraulic system

HELP!  I can not get system to bleed.  Have tried pressure from
reservoir and vacuum from slave cylinder without success.  I have
disassembled and thoroughly cleaned master cyl including the 2 holes
under the reservoir tube.  Cleaned 3 small holes in piston.  Everything
looks good.

Only possibile problem I can see, perhaps the forward (in direction of
flow) cup .

Could this swell with age and prevent the valve action of the thin
washer over the 3 small holes in the piston.

Mast cyl is FAG if there are different ones used.

Any/all suggestions appreciated.

I have tried all morning to search the archives and I continually get a
msg that gerry is to busy to use right now.
