    Hey all.

    I recently pulled my MC and thought I would need a rebuild kit but after a good cleanup everything looked good. The seals were still supple and soft and the bore and piston looked nice and smooth, no pits. So after I cleaned everything I wanted to test if it would squirt brake fluid out the output hole (the hole to the brake lines :p) and I have no luck. I am positive that ALL the holes and bores are clean. The tiny tiny back pressure hole is clear and still no luck.

    Does the MC need to be hooked up to a closed brake system then bled through the calipers? I'm stumped and any help would be greatly appreciated. :?
