You need to bleed the master, search on bench bleed...
Essentially, there are pistons in the master and you have air in the "cylinders". Until you fill that with fluid, you will be blowing bubbles.

Remove the proportioning valve, take it apart, clean it, put back in use...
But I suspect you still have air in the Master...

yea i will take apart th proportioning valve and take a look at it and go from there, i didnt know it could be torn apart this one dont look like it can be, and the whole thing i dont understand is why there is air coming back into the resevoir after i pump it,so obviously i have air coming in from somewhere i truly need help with this pretty baddly, if someone is in the Cleveland area then that would be pretty sweet if they would like to come take a look at it.
