Default Master Cylinder Question

Tonight while bleeding brakes,69 FB Frt. Disk Rear drum, Noticed while pushing the pedel fluid would stream up from the front tank. I had the cover off of course. Is this normal? I am trying of course to get brakes working. The pedel just goes to the floor. The whole system has been replaced. Combo M/C. I have read in detail on this forum about this and tried most everything mentioned. I have not replaced the new M/C, thinking it may be bad. Any help appriciated. Thanks Again.

I've seen this before and didn't think anything of it.

It may suppose to do that, not sure. But it seems thats where my pedel is going. If that fluid didnt come up in there seems my pedel would be hard. Never thought brakes would be a pain like this. Building the engine was easier.

Had the same issue on my power drum/drumbrakes. It was like a foutain from the aft resvoir. Havent looked into it yet but the brake performane has been getting worse and worse.
