you have a serious problem. while it's possible for the new master
cylinder to be defective, it's very unusual. much more likely, you have
air in the system, especially as you've had the problem both before &
after a change of master.

bleed the system properly. using the correct wheel sequence, have an
assistant pump the pedal hard 3 times, then after the 3rd stroke, with
full pressure on the brake pedal, you open the bleed nipple and have
your assistant press the pedal all the way to the floor. repeat until
all wheels bleed clear unfrothy fluid. pay close attention to the
reservoir level to make sure it doesn't drop too far. don't scrimp on
the brake fluid - make sure you use a decent quantity to ensure the
whole system is fully flushed.
