[TR] problem with clutch

[Andrew S. Mace]

 Rebuild or replace the master cylinder?

TR3 small mouth.  finishing up years long restoration.  car is running (YAY!!!) and driving.  it now has 1 mile on it.   
    
    
    
but the clutch has to be pumped to work.  I’ve bled it several times but it has made no difference.  I’ve carefully inspected around the master and slave;  I don’t think it is leaking anywhere.  brake fluid seems to go down very slowly in the reservoir when I bleed.     
    
    
    
any thoughts?  bleed it some more?
