OK, trying to bleed the front brake on my '75 XS650B. PO said it worked fine when he parked it (of course), but the reservoir was dry. I put a wrench on the bleeding nipple (looks like a grease zerk, is that right?), got a tube onto the nipple, other end in the standard peanut butter jar. Filled the reservoir and began pumping, just trying to get fluid down the line. A tiny bit came out of the nipple, but after that, no matter how much I pumped, nothing was flowing. Tried pumping with the valve closed, no discernible change in pressure. Opened it again, pumped some more, no change in reservoir fluid level.
Am I doing something wrong, or is perhaps the seal gone bad in the MC?
Pics of my setup in case I'm not doing this correctly.
