Bad Boy you might grab 2 brass plugs at your parts house & cap off the MC & if it's good (& bled out) the pedal will be rock hard & virtually no travel, then hookup one half of the system & get it bled. This helps narrow down where the problem is. You might put a block of wood of the proper thickness under the pedal so your helper wont push the cups past their normal wear area which might hasten their demise. A small detail but I get anal about these things & it lets your helper easily keep the pedal motionless until you close the bleeder.
