Did I miss something?

I changed out my old MC for a new 19mm per the Pelican article, and changed out my soft lines while I was at it. I've bled all 4 corners with a vacuum pump, but the pedal still goes to the floor. I cant get it to pump up at all, even depressing it multiple (~50) times.

Help?

Yes bench bleeding the M/C is a good idea. I made up a cool tool.
took the pedal assy from the stripper, bolted to my work bench
got two BMW calipers. (hey I found a good use for them).
I was able to bleed everything and test the M/C.

Funniest thing. I found a bug in one of the lines it was blocking fluid flow to the front port. Nothing an air compressor couldn't fix. That bug hit hyper drive as it flew out the line.
