Bob,
You may already know this but I learned recently that you should always have 
you drain bottle above the cylinder outlet to prevent bubbles from entering 
through the bleeder threads.  

Only other suggestion is to revisit the brake adjustments so the system is not 
using that first pedal pump just get the shoes started out.  

Hopefully more good suggestions will follow. 

All the best,
Bill

I replaced the master cylinder in my TR3A and now I can't seem to get the 
brakes bled. I've been around all 4 wheels a few times but I continue to get 
bubbles and a soft peddle to a point. The peddle will get hard a few inches 
from the floor and will pump up somewhat. Is it possible that the new master 
cylinder is bad? I can't see how air is getting in the system, I know I've 
pulled several reservoirs worth of fluid through.

Thanks for any ideas,
Bob
