Usually a MC can be "pumped up" by depressing the brake pedal a few times.
If you got air, that trick won't work.

For the sake of online diagnosis....   :)

Was there any difference in how pedal felt when it sank to floor 1st
time, and now with new MC installed?

Put another way, a mushy (aka spongy = air in system) pedal can be
pushed to the limit w/o much effort. But if pedal sinks *easily*,
thats a different thing. I would suspect some kind of fault with the
MC.
