try pulling the allen wrench plug and letting it gravity drain first. meaning just fill master and let drain and see if fluid comes out along with air. if it does, then try bleeding in the normal way.

you could have a bad clutch too you know. Hopefully you have checked that out first. Also the slave has to be removed and held up per the instructions I sent to bleed it properly. this means you'll need two people or a brake bleeder to accomplish this.
