Default Clutch Bleeding

I have everything hooked up and a new exhaust system installed now. My engine runs well. One problem I'm having is the the clutch. It seemed to work fine at first but now it seems like I need just a little more stroke on the slave cylinder. It's been bled the standard way my slowly pumping the pedal but I'm thinking there is a little air in the system yet. What's the cure for this? As always thanks.

I had the same trouble. Which way is your bleed nipple orientated.

I found bleed nipple up gives you a perfect bleed. Otherwise it's slave rod adjustment (diaphragm clutch). I ignore the manual and adjust to where I like the clutch to take.
