HELP! I can not get system to bleed. Have tried pressure from reservoir and vacuum from slave cylinder without success. I have disassembled and thoroughly cleaned master cyl including the 2 holes under the reservoir tube. Cleaned 3 small holes in piston. Everything looks good.

Only possibile problem I can see, perhaps the forward (in direction of flow) cup .

Could this swell with age and prevent the valve action of the thin washer over the 3 small holes in the piston.

Mast cyl is FAG if there are different ones used.

Any/all suggestions appreciated.

I have tried all morning to search the archives and I continually get a msg that gerry is to busy to use right now.
