Thanks DesertDrifter that one affirmation I was looking to read, I think a bigger master is the solution since I'm sure I have no air and now confirmation that the braided line should be good.
Just need to find one who will work any used ?

Another test for air (works in vehicles) is to see how fast the pedal returns. If it snaps back quickly, it has air.

Thanks for you help, I found the problem, plkracer got me an idea, I was thinking to have some air but bleed the damn thing since the buggy was build, like other time I removed the caliper out and insure the bleeder was on the highest point, but this time I brake the brake line loose and got the caliper real high, I was using s tick to push the brake pedal with my Bot *
and needed more line, soon I crack the bleeder open I ear some air, I knew I found the problem.The brake line was above the bleeder and even by keeping the caliper straight the air will still trap, by removing few feet of brake line and raising the caliper two feet higher I was able to bleed it. One other bad problem solve, than for help and mostly support.

Hey Buggito,
If you still feel like you have a little air in the system, take the caliper off the mount so there is no disc between the pads. Pump the brake until the pads touch each other and you feel a little pressure on the pedal. Now release the pedal, hold the caliper low, so the line is the highest point and then work the pads back apart with a flat blade screw driver. *Keep pushing the pads apart until the pistons bottom out in the caliper. This will force any small air bubbles that may be present in the line back to the master cylinder. *Often you'll see little bubbles come out of the bleeder hole that's inside the master cylinder reservoir. The idea is to displace as much fluid as possible through the brake lines. *The lines don't have much fluid in them. This method works really well on motocross bike braking systems.
