Tried plugging the opening in the mc with my thumb and pumping the lever, took the caliper off and held it above the mc, kept using the mityvac, tried manual bleeding and no luck.
I'm still getting some fluid but mostly air. With the mityvac I can literally keep trying to bleed for 2+ hours non stop and no luck.
Just zip tied the lever to the throttle grip and will check it tomorrow.
I have the inspection with State Patrol to title my build on Monday. Hoping I can figure it out before then. This is all that's holding me up.

Rebuilt the master cylinder today and it bled no problem. The seal between the piston and the m/c bleeder bolt outlet (sorry don't have the manual in front of me) was wicked worn out so it was pushing air out but sucking it right back in
