First look for signs of leakage. Is the master cylinder mounted properly and the nuts fastened tight? Is the master cylinder properly bled. If not, put the master cylinder in a secure device like a vice. Fill the master cylinder full of brake fluid. Use a flat blade screwdriver and push the piston in to let air out. Have an assistant hold the two openings tight with the thumbs/fingers. Release the tension on the piston with the screwdriver, then remove thumbs/fingers. Repeat procedure until no air is seen coming out. Install master cylinder and bleed both lines. Make sure all the air is squirted out.
