Good evening.

It sounds like you have air in the lines. Have you bled the lines of all air?

My husband thought he did good job bleeding. I guess we are going to take to be bled for $99.00. Thanks so much for taking time to answer.

You can rent a pressure bleeder and do it yourself. Parts stores rent them to you.
