i wasnt getting any compression from the master cylinder, even after taking it apart and cleaning it. i thought i was going to have to rebuild it, but when i disassembled it again, i noticed that there was actually alot more rust and crud that needed to be cleaned out than i previously thought. so i gave it a very thorough cleaning this time, paying particular attention to the small port where the fluid enters the bore. so i reassembled it, and before i reattached it onto the bike, i submerged it in brake fluid and pulled the lever. i could now see bubbles which means its working. which is great. then i had the problem of the stuck caliper pistons, so i figured i could just clamp the brake lever down and it would force the pistons out, as ive read other people having success with this method. but when i did this, after everythings connected, i still have the same spongy feeling from the brake lever. i disconnected the banjo fitting at the master cylinder, and put my thumb against it, there is still compression there and fluid squirting out, so i know the cylinder is working now. im thinking there must be a leak in one of the hoses somewhere down the line. am i on the right track or is there something im missing?
thanks for any and all advice!
