Thanks for the tip on Harbor Freight. I googled for it and actually found this pump on Amazon, which looks about right. It's definitely a better price (and probably better construction) than the ones marketed as sex toys.
The thing about the bulb and valve is, where would the air come from to refill the bulb after the first pump? It doesn't seem like the toy is designed to refill with air until you hit the release knob, which means you can't build up the suction. Unless I'm still missing something, or my particular unit is defective.
Worn pads wont cause that bc the reservoir fills in the volume taken up by the worn pads...firm lever should always be there regardless of pad life remaining. Your priority should be to bleed the brakes (lots of tutorials out there...u can even buy one man bleed kits online) and if it's still not firming up you might need a new brake master cylinder. Thats noticably more work but not impossible, i did it and im not particulalry experienced with it.
