I do a fair few trailor brakes at work and I find that to start the master cylinder to bleed. I remove the brake line completely. Fill the master cylinder with fliud, leaving the cap off. Then pull the lever to press the brakes on ( Press the pedal in a car ). I then cover the top of the cylinder with my hand to seal it. Then release the brake lever. I find this helps draw the fluid in, so its infront of the piston. I couldnt explain how though. Then I bleed it like normal.

As I suspected.... The master cylinder was siezed.
Pulled it all apart. Inspected the seals.... O.k. Gave the M/C a light hone. Reassembled and......... One of the seals caught in the fluid gallery that goes to the reservior. Tore a nice half moon out of it  .And guess what - You can't just buy the one seal, you have to buy a whole kit. $75.00 .I'm off to see what a brand new M/C is worth. Can anyone in Brissy point me in the right direction?
