Brake Fluid Troubleshooting

I am a novice when it comes to working on brakes. I recently rebuilt both front calipers and I am now trying to get new brake fluid flowing. I think I made the mistake of introducing too much air into the system. The lines and calipers have no fluid in them. When I try to bleed the brakes I get nothing. I decided to disconnect the brake line from the master cylinder to see what was going on. When I pump the brake, fluid tries to pump out but it doesn't even reach the end of the hole where it would normally go into the brake line. I can't figure out what to do. Its a simple solution im sure. The master cylinder worked fine before the rebuild so although I am not 100% sure, i dont think it is a cylinder malfunction. Any ideas would be very helpful!

 

Save a whole bunch of us a whole bunch of typing and do a forum search on "brake bleeding" it's been discussed and discussed.

Here's a recent thread on the subject; it's but one of many... http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=35350.html

 

Thanks bigfitz, I did find a solution on that page. I did searching before on the forums but couldn't find any answers.
