Hi
I had this problem the key is to pump the brake and compress the air in the pipe. just keep pumping the brake for a couple of minutes then while your doing it "may need help here" open the bleed nipple you should see the fluid start to show when it does close the bleed nipple and repeat as soon as you get a god amount of fluid coming through, revert to bleeding them properly ie. Compress brake level undo bleed nipple, when air blubbles finish close bleed nipple, depress level, compress etc.

That is odd, but glad you found the problem. I've never had a break line that had a blockage in it when new.it was the line

·They sent a new one out today where very cool about it. Yea I have SB on all my toy never ran into this either. I even took a tip cleaner (for a torch) and stuck it in the little hole one side I got it in about 1 inch the other side 1/8 maybe less so it's right there but mightyvac or compressor would knock it loose whatever it is...:dontknow:

Bro, you may have more problems than the line.... you may have a bad brake master coming apart or a bad hose breaking down or a bad caliper coming apart... in all my years, I've never seen a block brake line
stranger things have happen however
