Its always possible you got a bad one from the start, especially if it is a rebuilt one. I have had a series of master cylinder mishaps over the years, until I got my pressure bleeder. If you use the pump method you must put a block of wood or something under the pedal so you can't overextend the cylinder too far into the bore. One pump too far and you can ruin the seals. In my experience it's very easy to ruin a new master cylinder. But maybe I just don't know what I'm doing ;-). Allan
