Undo the line from the clutch master and hit the pedal... see if youre
getting fluid from the top end. You may have a problem there.
Also -- watch the rubber line while someone else pumps.... a worn one will
typically "balloon" out, and not really get pressure down below. If so ,
time for new hose !
Or... the whole works may just be terribly gunked up and will require a FULL
flush.
