Replaced brake master cylinder and can’t get brakes to work

I've got a h50xl that I just replaced the brake master cylinder in. I bled the brake lines after installing the new one and the brakes do not build pressure and stop the lift. Just wondering if there's something I am missing?

Dunno what to say

first question: did you bench bleed (pre-bleed) the master cylinder before installing it? Sometimes even if you do bench bleed it air might still be in it.
if so then you might need to get a pressure bleeder.

The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
