I tried bleeding my new dual master / booster combo today with the plastic plugs for the ports. Pumped the pedal slowly until I was blue in the face, and it still won't pump up. Had the wife come out after supper and push the brake pedal while I watched in the MC reservoir, and I do see movement, so the piston must be moving.
I have plently of slop in the brake pedal adjustment rod, so the MC plunger should be coming back all the way, I would think.
Tomorrow I'll try draining some brake fluid out of the ports that currently have the plastic plugs, and if that doesn't work, maybe I can rig up some short brake lines back to the reservoir, or a jar, and see what happens.

Any other suggestions???
Thanks.
