'If I pumped the lever maybe 20 times I could get a little bite, but that vanished as soon as I stopped working the lever.'

This would normally suggest air in the system, no?

It was extremely marginal, previously when I've had air in there you could (3-5 pumps) get the lever feeling fine. In this case the difference was between the lever going to the bars and nothing, and the lever going to the bars and there being very slight grabby braking.

I had customers who experience these effect to find the system was leaking, moreso a leaky system mean not all the mineral oil is spread to the piston.

Can be wrong naturally.
