Help With SkiDoo Brakes

I'm having troubles with my sons 98 summit 500 brakes. I cannot get them to hold pressure. I have bleed and bleed the system. I can see the piston move but when I squeeze the brake handle it goes right to the grip. I did notice the lever has a lot of play before it begins to engage the master cylinder pin. It like the master cylinder pin is not retracting all the way back out. Any help would be appreciated.

May need to swap master cylinder assembly on bars with a know good component. Change out hose with the X model braided line would be a good idea as well. Change seals in Wheel cylinder pucks?

Also we usually bleed them by injecting fluid (250ML syringe from farm store) into the system at the brake disc end of the system.
