    Hard to picture a scenario where the brake system would stop pumping fluid while there's still a supply in the reservoir. Only thing I can imagine is a blockage or failure in the master cylinder.

    Maybe try bleeding the master cylinder again to see if fluid comes out from there? If that works and you still can't get fluid out of the caliper bleed port, maybe there is a blockage between the two.

    I don't think there's a blockage as when we pressure bleed, we can get plenty of fluid through the system. Hmmm.... you also mentioned a failure in the master cylinder. Maybe that's it but i just bet it's more a failure on our part! Thanks, Initiator for the suggestion!
