Motorcycle Repair: 1985 honda shadow v700, honda shadow, rubber tubing

Question
in restoring my bike i took the hydrolic hose ogg and replaced  and bled the system  i used a piece of rubber tubing hooked to valve and jar with  fluid in still cant get no pressure to build up ? what can i do?

Answer
Check that the master cylinder is completely clean, especially the two fluid holes.  Also the lever has to be able to retract the piston in the full retracted position to allow fluid into the cylinder.  Once you get fluid into the cylinder, and the system starts to pump, you should notice that it will pump up the rest of the system.  Good luck,  Jan
