<I have spent the better part
of today trying to bleed the system. I have pumped about a pint of Dot 4
through the system but still have a soft pedal. I am doing the assistant
with the open bleeder on the down stroke into the "jam" jar with plastic
hose all to no avail. Bleeder screw is on top, cup lip is toward the front
and there is no leakage. I am stumped and frustrated because the weather
here in No. Indiana is beautiful. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Might try holding the slave cylinder pushrod in the cylinder as far as you can
push it before pressing on the pedal and opening the valve. This reduces the
amount of available space inside the cylinder and will make getting any air
out easier. Are you pushing the pedal too hard, too fast, too rapidly in
succession? This might foam the fluid. Try letting it sit for a while - a
few hours should do; then try again holding the pushrod in while you bleed
it.
