Problem gravity bleeding brakes with new prop valve
Trying to put the finishing touches on disc brake conversion today. I'm trying to get the brakes gravity bled, but I can't get any fluid to move at all with the bleeders wide open. I've seen something referring to this button on the front of the prop valve. Do I have to do something with it while I'm gravity bleeding?

Is that line on the rear of the prop valve kinked? Sure looks it. That's probably your problem.

Yes, I bench bled the MC. I had my wife hold the pedal down while a cracked the bleeder valve a couple of times and its bleeding fine now.
