2g clutch master cylinder--NEED HELP!

[diggs72]

I have a 2g, just replaced the clutch master cylinder with a brand new OEM parts from Mistubishi . I put fluid in the resv. and when I try to bleed the clutch it is not drawing any fluid from the resv.? I;m stumped could the brand new mstr. cylinder be bad? ANY help would be MUCH appreciated

You should try to bench bleed it some. I have problems once & a while with clutch masters flowing fluid thru them.
Make sure your reservoir is clean & the line to the master is clear.
Might have to remove the line & let it gravity bleed some fluid thru itself.
Then assemble it & see if you can get fkuid flowing by using a 2 person bleed method. One open the slave bleeder, then other depress pedal to floor by hand & hold. Close bleeder & pull pedal up- repeat to see if you can get fluid to flow.

Worst case I've had to resort to power bleeding with a pressurized bleeder, but I know that's not common DYI equipment.
