Pedal down, open bleeder, close bleeder, pedal up. Repeat half a dozen times, then top off the fluid, and check for fork movement with the bleeder closed. As soon as the fork begins to move a little, just pump the dickens out of the pedal and it should gain full functionality.

Edit: I would propose that either the master or the slave is defective from the factory. They're both pretty cheap. Just buy a general rockauto set, and see if that makes a difference.

They are reman parts, which is suspect. I have had very bad experiences with reman hydraulic parts in the past. Owned a 79 Cj7 and swear that I put 5 or 6 brake master cylinders on it before I got one that didnt leak.
