Brake Bleeding Issues

After replacing my master cylinder I've run into another headache upon bleeding the brake system. Brake fluid won't pump though my G-Sensing Valve at the the end of the bleeding process. My guess is a rust blockage in one of the lines.. Has anybody had this issue? Have to have it fixed for tomorrow, would love any guidance or tips..!

My G-sensing valve (just above the front fuel tank) has never bled particularly well either: a feeble dribble is about all I get. Regardless, the back brakes seem to work adequately- they read nice and high on the brake tester, and don't lock up before the fronts under hard braking.

If you're getting *nothing* you could remove the bleed valve entirely and check that it's not clogged (and that fluid dribbles out of the valve) which might save you a headache.

Got it, I cleaned the nipple which wasn't clogged, but a much more thorough and patient bleed of the rear brakes involving some inspired pedal pumping revealed some large air pockets we had missed the first two times. Looks like third time was a charm, all back together now!
