Do you have free play in the master cylinder push rod when the peddle is released/up?
The piston in the master might not be retracting fully and being held in slightly by the push rod.
Also, leave the cap or cover loose while bleeding.

Maybe leave the bleeder screws open over night. Just a little.

If the master cylinder is lower than the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, more than likely you still have air in the lines. I have a brake bleeder that bleeds the system at high pressure that gets all the air out. But I still have to come back after a day or two and rebleed system.Sometime Kool is the Rule But Bad is Bad
