I agree with George that you've likely got collapsed brake hoses.

I was recently flustered by not getting my rear brake shoes dialed in properly.
I kept bleeding and the brakes kept feeling "squishy." The easy check was pulling the E-Brake and noticing that the brakes were much stiffer. This may only apply when you have drum rears, and I think all 140s are all discs...

Also, are you sure the MC is good?

Can you bleed anything out if you open the bleeders and pump the pedal?
