Right now, you have a LOT of air in the system. Doing this will get rid of a lot of it, and when you close the screws and start the actual bleeding process, you will find it to be much more productive.
Yea i was going for this to begin with. I think the check valve on the line i was using was preventing it from gravity feeding very fast, so i yanked that thing off, and voila i can actually see it moving through the hose now.

slowly.
