How much fluid should come out with a brake line disconnected from the cylinder and someone pushing the pedal?

Is it just a dribble? I know it doesn't take that much with hydraulics. It's just Iv got a new master cylinder and tried the above last night and not alot came out.

 

Normally it's quite alot, have you removed the top off the master cylinder, what are you trying to achieve?

Basically I have no brakes. So I wanted to check that the master cylinder wasnt airlocked. I'm going to try an easy bleeder later if that don't work il try another cylinder

 

Do you have pressure in the pedal?
