What happens is that the valve gets moved father than usual and it sticks. Sometimes when people bleed used M/C instead of gently pumping the pedal and not going all the way to the floor they pump it hard all the way to the floor and either the prop valve or master cyclinder will stick. Gravity bleeding generally works best with used parts.
