I agree it sounds like you've got some air trapped.

Mostly used the short fittings, but I made most of the lines myself, I do have the long threads on a couple of lines. It is 3/16 line and I was having a lot of trouble making double flares so I just made single flares, that shouldn't bother should it?. It acts exactly like air in the system but as much brake fluid I ran though it I thought there would be no way there could be. In the picture you see that I have two front lines running to the proportioning valve. Last night I put a T in them and ran a single line to the valve and plugged the second output port on the valve for the fronts and it did seem to be a bit better, but not much.
