you have a tripped proportioning valve loosen rear bleeders stomp pedal until you get fluid to the rear. if this fails sometimes it will. bleed left front caliper then rf caliper then rr brake then lr. this usually resets this valve if not reply again and we can try some other things.. thanks billymac

i have had this happen many times. you have fluid coming out of the cylinder at both ports?

if yes go down to the proportioning valve open the line where it comes from the master. do you have fluid there?

if yes open each line at the port and force fluid through the port.

now if you have no fluid comeing out of the cylinder then the master is defective.
