When the pedal is all the way up, is there any free play? You should have 1/4 to 1/2 inch of free travel at the pedal before you feel pump rod and pressure engagement.
If you have no free play at the top, then the piston rubber will be covering the end travel port in the master cyl, and you will not be letting fluid into the piston to push the slave. No free play at the top of pedal travel.. no pump... no pump, no clutch... Is there an adjuster on the rod? Most clutch setups have an adjustment in the rod length to make it possible to dial in free play... I don't know how yours is, don't think I've ever done one.
