does it still have the clutch dampener installed? I’ve always had luck with a gravity bleed followed by pushing pedal down when bleeder is closed, open bleeder. close bleeder. pull pedal up by hand and repeat

close the bleeder and reservoir .pump pedal , remove reservoir cap and watch for fine bubbles .if you do see bubbles,close cap and pump again and you end up pushing air out from your reservoir and thus bleedind it. sometimes the bleeder doesn’t work.
