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.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
