Default Why cant i bleed my clutch

Im trying to bleed my clutch using the mighty vac method. It seems like the air in the system is never ending, and when i put the mighty vac end in the hole, i lose all pedal preassure. When i remove the mighty vac, preassure is restored with a few pumps of the pedal. The reason i bled the clutch is because it started sticking to the floor. What do u guys think and what can i do.

I went up to 12 , and didnt get any real response so i went to 20. air came up at 20, but we did this for over an hour pumping the clutch. The clutch wont get hard until we take the vac out. It seems like it is starving for fluid, and when it gets it , then it gets hard. Even so, it still sticks to the floor pretty often. Thats the best way i can put it.

just bleed the clutch the old fashion way. Besides some say the mity vac is bad for the master cylinder, you can damage it
