I screw the cap on each time, but pedal goes to the floor. I’ll check to see if it needs adjustment next. I’m keeping the master filled the best i can. I do have one drum off right now. Should i reinstall it during this process ?

Thx mike
You have to shut OFF the bleeder after each time you bleed the line.
That is, slow pump to get fluid in the catch can.
Then close the bleeder and then proceed to next line and do the same.
Fill the master as required.
( I supect that you never closed the bleeders)
