Default Slave not bleeding!

Backround: 3 years ago i had a spec stage 2 installed with updated slave and master.

I dunno If my mechanic bled anything but that doesn't matter now.

I am replacing the clutch and have decided to bleed the slave for good measure, so we started to blled it and air as well ad fluid came out then it just stopped nothing is coming out, no air nor fluid, what went wrong?

you might have some trash in the line. take the line off the slave and push the white part with a screw driver and see if fluid comes out. If it does then your slave might need to be changed. IF not then your mastercylinder could be bad. Just a thought. I am not sure but it might help you get started.

we have also pulled vaccum on it from the top and the bottom with no results, if we pull from the top, the air bubbles never end

If you crack the bleeder with the reservoir cap off and little rubber booty off, then it should just drain freely. If not, then there must be some sort of obstruction. A couple of years ago mine went completely dry by accident during my first bleed, so I know all the fluid can exit quickly.

we pulled the master and took it all apart, it isw only 3 years old with 12Kmi and it was all disgusting on the inside and the fluid was like maple syrup, put it all back together and bled the system and it worked thanks for all the input!
