I had this problem to find out that I had the bleed nipple the wrong way around...make sure it's pointing at the top and not the bottom

The bleed nipple needs to be at the top mate as air is lighter than fluid so the nipple being at the top will release it

As Addi said, when i went from 2 pots to 4 pots, i had the same issue and it was due to calipers being on the wrong sides and the nipples need to be at the top
