Pump the lever until you get a lot of resistance then put a zip tie or something similar to hold the brake lever all the way against the grip (needs to be something strong as I've had zip ties break). Remove the zip tie the following morning and the lever should be stiff as a sailor in a

Holy brake line, Batman! IT WORKED!  I just got the front end back together after a year and had practically no brake until right at the grip. I bled the brakes both sides twice and was getting NO improvement. I thought I'd have to rebuild the MC. So right before bed, I remembered your advice and tried it. I went in this morning, cut off the zip-tie and VOILA! Nice, firm brake, with plenty of room to spare. THANKS!
