Had the same problem...I put 3 or 4 quarts of fluid through the front brake and still had to pump 3 or 4 time to get any pedel and as soon as I let the pedel go I would have to start all over again...Had a couple of machanics stop by and they said it was air in the MC,soooo I bled the master again with no success.After I just stood back and looked at my system I had on the car,I remembered that most of these setups are off of other vehicles and are no necessarily put in the same position as the original ones.So I looked at how the calipers were mounted and found that the bleeders were below the top of the piston...all I had to do was remove the caliper...turn the bleeder so it was the highest point and open it...and let gravity push out the air(can't push the pedel with the caliper off the rotor)....did this several time on both sides.....PROBLEM SOLVED.
