Brake issue - bleeding brakes with suction gun, no fluid - pump brake there is fluid

[Fairlaniac]

First off, I had this issue a week or so ago. http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164102

I'm trying to bleed the brakes after some repairs and using my Mity-mite suction gun which has worked well for years. However no fluid is suctioning out the bleeder. None of the four bleeder bring fluid. So I open one and step on the brake and fluid squirted out and made the mess you try to avoid but I did get fluid. Afterwards I tried to bleed the brakes and I still get no fluid. Since I'm home alone at the time I have no one to pump the brakes for me. So I experimented on my F250 and bled the brakes for the hell of it. Plenty of fluid coming out the bleeders. Try Ranger again and still no suction. Any solid ideas? There doesn't appear to be any damaged lines?

Thanks,

Is the cover off the MC? . It should be flowing out the bleeder unless there is air in the system. If you can rustle up some tubing and a small vessel that you can submerge the end of the tube in brake fluid . Then you can pump the pedal and after a few pumps go tighten the bleedr and move onto the next corner.
