Default clutch bleeding issues

i have replaced my cmc, slave, and hard lines. I am in the process of bleeding the system but I have a huge problem. No, and i mean no fluid is being pumped by the cmc (clutch master cylinder). I feel no air pushed through the bleeder nipple and the fluid level in the resivoir is certainly not decreasing when I try to 2 man bleed the system or one man for that matter.

I think I bench bled my cmc but its my first time doing it and the instructions were for a brake master cylinder not a cmc.

This is the second cmc i've tried so ITS NOT the cmc or the slave. No holes in the hard lines, and no leaks anywhere!

I'm dumbfounded with the crap and I'm considering hari kari, so please help!!!

i believe so, about 1 inch of travel, enough to make it to the threads on the shaft. I'd say it's plenty

lack of patience? I let it sit awhile, then did the two man method. I was about to give up then, WHOOSH!!! air and fluid came out. I went through it for a while and now I have a great clutch feel with butter like shifting!!!
