Restore Wars 2 Clutch not bleeding was full of dust???

[Nightcorona]

I have a 1984 Goldwing 1200 that has been sitting for awhile. I removed clutch master cover and it had dry dusty material inside. I am assuming the fluid just evaporated. I cleaned at the top and added DOT 3 to just purge the lines. I repeated pumping and letting out fluid and it would build up light pressure but not solid like I would expect. I am wondering if the master or the slave or both need rebuilding or is it just I am missing something.

The clutch will never have a "solid" feel like the brake lever. You might want to purchase a vacuum brake bleeder...they're cheap, and really help to get all the air out.

If the reservoir was dry, there might be a leak at the slave cylinder or fluid lines.

cant be nothing to big ...slave is simple thing ...clutch master on the other hand can be where some problems are most likely.....

Well update on that. The master lever is stiff now after I did a little more bleeding. It won't compress all the way to the grip without force. Is the slave stuck???I am having terrible thoughts here.
