2 weeks ago I bought a new front master cyl. when I put it on and bled it out I noticed the brake line was nicked and a crack was started. I got a new brake line, put it on last night and for the life of me I can not get it to pump up. It is like the piston cup has collapsed or just not sealing. It was slow bleeding when I first installed it but now it just will do nothing. It appears that I do have all the air out of the line and I do have fluid in the new line but just can not get pressure. A month ago I had the rear caliper off my majesty and after install I had it bled in 5 min, this one sucks. I am going to call parts for scooters monday am and get a new one coming. This is on the 50cc tank I just bought to give a friend. john

Sometimes it`s just a quirk of the sytem when you replace a pipe or cylinder. Try pumping the lever very slowly, it takes about 15 minutes to get some kind of pressure up but it should be noticeable. Or pull the lever in to the mid point of its travel and pop a cable tie around the lever and grip so it holds it in that position,. Leave it for an hour, when you come back it should`ve bled air back up through the master cylinder.
