So I just got an eBay master cylinder to put on my bike, 1/2" bore. I'm having some issues bleeding it, I get nothing but fluid from the caliper but it doesn't build up enough pressure to light the brake light until almost the end of the handle travel.
I'm assuming I'm trapping air in the softline after the MC (see picture), can this be taken care of by forcing the fluid up from the caliper? I know I should get a proper length hose, but is there anything else I can do to make this work? I imagine it's be fine if I extended the soft hose prior to bleeding but then I wouldn't have a good way of holding onto the MC.
Thanks!
