So I'm putting together my 87 325ic that had a blown engine, I put the new motor in and now I'm trying to bleed the slave cylinder using a tube submerged in new brake fluid, and having someone pump the clutch pedal while I open the bleeder and nothing comes out, any suggestions on what else to try? Thanks in advance!

what?? So youre trying to suck brake fluid into the slave like a straw??
Youre either not explaining yourself well or Im not getting it.
Ive always gravity bled slaves and never had a problem. -
Open the bleeder valve all the way, depress the slave cylinder completely, hold while you tighten the bleeder screw.
Most times this is all the bleeding needed. Left over air, if there is any, will usually work its way out. One man job.Comment

Use an oil can and reverse bleed it. See here:
