Default Brake bleeding issue

Non ABS. When bleeding via traditional 2 person or Motive press. Bleeder flow is slow/syrup like from both bleeders on all 4 calipers. I do have ss braided lines. Fluid is free of bubbles and dirt/debris. Could the MC failing be part of cause?

or could be dirty bleed screws if they have never been cleaned and old fluid has been in the system for a while

As mentioned above - Id pull the bleeder out of 1 or 2 and see what happens, A year or two ago I replaced my front ones as they were gummed up and wouldn't bleed.

Yep- those caps flip off and that bleeder just fills up with gunk. Unscrew, clean, try again.
