you must have let air into the system.

Bleed it more. You can also just leave it open and let it gravity bleed for awhile. Make sure your reservoir is full at all times.

Either that, or your slave fell off of the clutch fork or something else, but its not likely.

IDK man, unless you did something wrong. It took me a few days worth of patience to bleed mine.

Two people to bleed right, one operating the pedal and the other opening and closing the bleeder screw. Gravity bleeding may work IAW Ryan.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

New Master and a new slave cylinder and now she's drivable. Guess its a good thing I decided to bleed the breaks cause the old slave cylinder was almost completely hollow.
