Re: trying to bleed brakes on my 67

Try gravity bleeding them to start. One you get flow down through the nearest caliper close it and open the other one. I don't know why one would only push the pedal part way. Some master cylinders won't even start moving the front plunger until it has moved 1/4 of the way. My guess it is a typo or translation error. After gravity feeding you should quickly be able to flush any remaining air out. If not don't waste time just take it back. I went through 3 master cylinders on my Javelin before I got a good one. Two of them had pieces of anodizing come off the plunger and damage the cups.
