Hi
Your system is not the easiest to bleed.
The best way apart from purchasing a bleed tool is to gravity bleed.
Put a wheel under the front of the kart so it sits higher than than back.
Have a small funnel to put the fluid in and then unscrew the bleed screws one at a time and gravity feed fluid into the master cylinder making sure to keep it flowing so as not to allow air in
Obviously brakes are a safety item so if in doubt or unsure have it checked / changed by a reputable kart shop.
The system you have has been in the market for many many years and used to be Dot 4 based but recently some of the newer ones from that manufacturer changed to Dot 5, it would normally say Dot 5 if that was the case but again check with a kart shop if you are unsure.
I also know the manufacturer offers a check / service of their systems do please feel free to contact me for further details if required
Thanks
