Always, ALWAYS, bench bleed a master cylinder. I use some old hard lines bend up to the bottom of the reservoirs and leave them in place while bolting the MC down.

X3. Without a bench bleed prior to installation, you will never get all the air out of the internal ports in the master cylinder.

Not that this is Damien's problem, but I was just talking to Phil Woj on getting a good pedel on one of his projects.
One thing I told him to check was to make darn sure you have the back brake shoes adjusted, to much slop there and you may end up with lots of pedal travel and it may not be air.
