Walt---Even tho you see the reservoir full, it sounds as if air is
trapped in the MC. Sometimes you can sucessfully bleed the air out  by
disconnecting the MC pipe for the system in question.  Fasten a tube to
it, and loop the tube back into the MC reservoir. Pump the brakes till
nothing but fluid returns to the reservoir. Once you've accomplished
this, then proceed to bleed the rest of the front brake system. If you
want more details on this, see Peter Z.'s article in the VTR website,
titled "Bench Bleeding a Master Cylinder".
