New Master Cylinder Defective?

Hey guys,

I just attempted to bench bleed my new master cylinder (93 cobra from americanmuscle.com)

Manually pumping on the bench does nothing. To double check myself, I installed it on the car and pumped the brakes repeatedly. I feel resistance, but none of the fluid in the reservoir gets pumped out.

The same procedure with the old MC shoots nice green gooey brake fluid out the side.

I removed the plastic plugs and the fluid level is max.

I wanted to make sure I didn't miss something basic before dealing with AmericanMuscle for a replacement.

Thanks,
Jason

So you don't think I have a defective MC? Should the MC pump fluid out even when there is nothing connected to the ports?

So somehow having the lines in there will open a valve or something and allow the fluid to come out? The plastic plugs supplied had no holes in them. They were just plugs so i though I'd just shove plastic hose in the ports lol.
