Maybe you did not bleed it enough....remember you will have to effectively to a total fluid transfer to run any bubles completely through the system...and thats more than a few squirts.
Before installing the new MC I did a bench bleed. After installing it I did a bleed with the MC in place, at each wheel... the pedal was fine, then I changed pads and I got a crap pedal instead of a brake pedal now. I bled a good amount as well... the container is about the size of one of those advil containers and I did one full container per wheel. I will keep trying though... if i keep at this im gonna clean Kragen out of their DOT4 fluid.
