so the weather here in NC finally broke in our favor, so I had an opportunity to try the bleeding again. Put the master back together and still no luck in getting it to bleed.
From this it seems that when you... connect everything up and bled it with your mityvac, things did not turn out to ..."be okay".
Since you have already done pretty much that before, that's kinda-sorta what I thought would happen.
Tell me, did you perform a Master Cylinder Pressure Test?
By that, I mean, did you disconnect the Banjo Fitting, put your finger over the Exit Hole, and move the Lever? ( with fluid in the Reservoir, of course) .

......
I separated the line under the tank and tried pouring in some brake fluid from the other end. still not getting any success. I went ahead and ordered a syringe from the internet. I'm going to try filling it from the bottom up and see if I can prime the system to get fluid moving. More to come on that.
I had thought that when you took Air Pressure and blew out the line, that such resistance to Fluid flow wouldn't have happened!
Wouldn't the results you just posted indicate the possibility of
some sort of Blockage In The Line itself?
Though it is not common, I have seen reported that the Flexible Part of the Stock Hydraulic Lines can delaminate internally and collapse, thus causing blockage.
Perhaps yours is doing that enough so that High Pressure Air allows for passage, but Low Pressure Bleeding does not?

..............my carbs are still in the shop. guy says he's still having problems getting one of the slides freed up. Says he's got a few other tricks to try. if this doesn't work I will have to try to find a decent used one.
Thanks for the Carb Update.
Am looking forwards to seeing you RIDE!
