If there is no brake fluid in the master cyl you will need to bleed the brake again. You will have to bleed them a lot!Also don't pump the brakes when you do this. Open bleeder press brake & hold. Close bleeder, then release brake. Pumping is not good. Say you have 1 big air pocit. You pump now you have a bunch of little pocits. Know you have to do double the work. It's easyer to get rid of 1 then get rid of hundreds. You will have to bleed alot because of the master cyl was dry.
