[Spridgets] Troubleshooting advice needed please

[Lester]

Not sure about Bugeye clutch masters but on a Lockheed for a SAAB of a  
similar vintage there is a return cup with a little spring washer at  
the end of the master cylinder.  If you put ANYTHING other than that  
spring washer you will have a problem similar to what you are  
describing as fluid will not be sucked in from the reservoir by the MC  
piston.  Bleeding doesn't help.  Maybe reverse bleeding might work but  
if that little section isn't functioning correctly you don't move  
fluid *IN* from the reservoir.  Just had the same problem and had to  
do this on a formula S..
