Happy Easter to everyone!   I'm always reading the list, but seldomly
post.   I'm in need of some friendly advice.

I'm having problems getting the brake fluid bled on my 250.   All parts are
new except the booster.   New/rebuilt master from TRF, new brake lines, new
o-rings on the PDWA piston, calipers rebuilt by (can't remember, someone
professionally I sent them to in Oregon), new rear wheel cylinders from
Vicky-Brit.   I'm even using the Speed-Bleeders.    I can get the entire
system bled with no air bubbles coming out.   I started with right rear
first, then left rear, then front right, then front left.    I am using
Dot-5 silicone.     I did have a few minor leaks, I've gone back through and
made sure all connections are tight.   I've even let everything sit for two
days and gone back and done the bleeding again.   I can't get the system to
hold any pressure, the brake pedal has some resistence but not much.

I did notice that when I bench bled the master it seemed odd that the larger
compartment wanted to always "siphon" back air unless I plugged the return
when releasing the piston.    Could I have a defective master?    Is it
something obvious I'm missing?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, - Bob -
