Ok I bled the master again. Now I am getting a little fluid at the left front caliper but still has a lot of air in it. Pumped the brakes 20 times and can not get a solid flow. I can not get any fluid at the front right or the rears.

I do have a pressure bleeder and it has not been any help at all. It will hold pressure if I put my finger on the end of the hose but when I have the needle on the combination valve pressed in it will not hold pressure. I can hear air coming from that needle. Should I be hearing air from that needle when pressed in? Also I do need to have it pressed in when I am bleeding the front brakes correct?
