Brakes Issue

I replaced the master cylinder last month and brakes started working again no problem. Recently they stopped working again and this time the booster went out, so changed it as well. Once I changed the booster the master cylinder stopped pushing fluid out, could this be because the master cylinder went out again? I've bled all the lines and bleeders and still nothing. Weird thing is when I remove the master cylinder and test it by hand, fluid will shoot out the side like it should, but won't when I install it

Sounds like booster rod is not coming out far enough to hit master cylinder when installed on booster or is coming out to far and not returning enough to allow for next stroke check with out master cylinder installed to see if the rod is moving when you put your foot on brake petal l believe there is a adjustment on rod.also when you install master make sure that it is not hard to bolt master cylinder to booster and you have a little free play but not to much that there is not enough stroke to push master.hope.l was of help.
