The master worked with ALL drum brakes, just NOT good. If i put hoses in fluid, it siphons back into line.

 

 

Cylinder is SUPER clean. even blew out with Air. No gunk.  

 

Thinking i need to "bench" bleed with hoses in fluid. I do have a pressure bleeder so when i get the MC working ill be able to bleed brakes pretty easy. Famous last words. LOLThanks

Check the ports in the bottom of the reservoir and make sure they are not plugged

Yes, the residual pressure valve is removed as part of the disc brake upgrade.  It's a non-issue

I only removed the rubber washer around the residual pressure valve.  I think I would still try it with those plugs, it worked for me.

Yes, the plugs work well, less of a mess also

 If you don't then you suck air back into the line.  Sounds like you are missing a residual pressure valve if you are siphoning back into the line when bleeding the master.

i will put in fluid. Thansk

It's an issue if he's siphoning fluid back into the lines as he tries to bleed the master.  He'll need to use something else to prevent that.
