I don't know why this has worked but have seen it help a number of times. ( well I do but I hate typing)
Tie the lever back like it is applied and leave it over night.
Wire ties, tape , rope , strap or what ever.

It will, but it often takes a few minutes for the air to be pushed out.

Bled again no air, pulled the m/c from handle bar, attached to an old set put in fluid, squeezed handle not a drip came out, pulled piston seals, they're in right, now I did notice that when pulled original at the end of spring is like a flat washer but not on the one in rebuild kit, matter, I wouldn't think so, going to cycle warehouse near me has millions of parts
