This will not make things worse and may just solve your issue. Cross your fingers hold my beer and try this......

1. Set up to bleed your brakes.

2 When ready Turn on the ignition and leave on. This will activate the ABS system

3.Go to wheel furthest from master (right rear) and open the bleeder. This should kick the ABS pump on and pump the air out through the bleeder.

4.Bleed the remaining slaves.

5. Turn your key off and use the power bleeder to bleed all brakes.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

and speaking of slaves…

Perhaps be a good idea to bleed the clutch slave as well, according to the manual, you should keep open (under pressure) the bleeder for about 20 seconds..

I always put 'two' one liter bottles of DOT 4 on the Motive, just to minimize the possibility of getting air into the line
