Any suggestion on how to bleed brakes using the motiv power bleeder?

Ive bled them beore using the pump method. Fluid came out clearish at end.

Used the motiv power bleeder this time and it worked, fluid got lighter but not "new color" see pic.
I pushed 2.5 liters thru entire sytem
Didnt turn ignition on, didnt pump any pedal. Just 20 psi. Started furthest point out and moved closer.

Any other strategy to get fluid out cleaner using the motiv?

I use the Motive and get clear fluid. Your fluid does not look terrible. The only things I can think of are 1) new/old fluid is getting mixed inside the reservoir which is making the new fluid look dirty or 2) it's purely optical since you have the fluid in an opaque plastic bottle (I normally use a clear glass jar).

im sure old is getting mixed with new.
Its better thats for sure. however i dont believe its optics as I poured fresh out of the bottle into the catch can and it was clear clear/ translucent.
while I was down there, realized my output shaft seal is leaking , go to do that now. never ends :)
