Get someone to help you and bleed the brakes again. You should have bench bled the master cylinder before installing. Start at the right rear, then go to the left rear, right front, and end at the left front brake. Bleed each caliber until you see no more air escaping. If you do not know how to bleed your brakes a Google search will give you instructions. If you do it right, assuming the Master Cylinder is good, you will have good brakes. I have seen rebuilt master cylinders that were defective out of the box. If you bought a rebuilt master cylinder, I would recommend you return it and get a new master cylinder. Rebuilt products today are not rebuilt in the U.S. and it is common for them to be defective. Buy new!

If you allowed the master/reservoir to drain empty while the line was disconnected or installed the master dry, you may have to remove the master and bench bleed it first. Always keep the reservoir full during the process.

When your master cylinder is low you either have a leak or your brake pads are worn. Inspect the system for a leak and inspect your pads before adding fluid.

How do you know if the clutch cylinder on a 97 suzuki sidekick is bad and it is not the clutch?
After you have located the clutch slave cylinder, have someone depress the clutch pedal. You should see the piston of the slave cylinder extend somewhat. If it does not, either the slave cylinder is bad, or the master cylinder, or, there is not enough brake fluid in the system for it to operate properly. Check the level in the master cylinder. If the slave cylinder is leaking profusely, it is probably bad.
