Mushy brakes 4 life...

??? You don't bleed a master and then empty it. The reason you bleed a master separately is basically like priming a pump. They will (sometimes) not "prime" on their own, partly because of the floating dual piston, against any head pressure created by the brake tubing / system

I’ve seen a few masters I’ve bought came with plastic fittings and hose to route it back up into the reservoir for bench bleeding. Then you dump it out and put it on the car? That’s a time waster. I’ve just never had trouble with masters and air. This has me running around.
