I've purchased 2 rebuilt master cylinders. During bench bleeding of each one,
fluid spurts back up into the rear reservoir. Although fluid also travels
through the line, the result is the brake peddle pressing almost to the floor,
and a soft spongy feeling to the brakes.
Since this has happened with two separate mc units that where purchased from a
reputable after market store, I have to wonder if : 1 I'm doing something
wrong? 2 I could have gotten hold of two defective rebuilds? 3 This is normal
operation??
Any input or advice is appreciated.
