First time, I bled it, the fluid was all black; the second time it was only a little discolored; the third time it was clear; and now it is dark again.
And finally, I have no clue what "putting a cable on it" means.
I am hoping to fix this myself but will go to a shop if I cannot.
Ignore the cable remark; it was a joke. If you can make the problem go away, even for a short while, by bleeding the system then that confirms that air is the problem. A bad master cylinder can actually suck a little air in past its seals. Don't let the color of the fluid mislead you, air is your problem. I would just go ahead and replace the master cylinder with a nice Tilton and I think your problems will be gone.
