Well, the system had no brake fluid(sittin for 12 years). Bled the system 3 times.

Rears work great. Fronts don't do anything.

WHen I bleed the rears, they gush fluid with each pump.

When I bleed fronts, they...barely push fluid out, but they do push a little.

So...is the problem the abs? the mc? where and how to trouble shoot? Thanks

If the system was dry, bench bleed the MC first then try to bleed the brakes.

Did you bench bleed the MC?

Listen to Mahjik. He's probably right, unless the MC is bad.

haven't bled the mc. Do i just buy the kit at auto store? never had to bench bleed before

They do have kits, however the adapters in the kits are usually plastic (and suck). I found it easier to purchase some standard brake line and then just bend them to go back into the reservoir.

Yes, just like I mentioned in my last post:

Yes, bleed all 4 brakes after bench bleeding the MC.
