Do what Graham and Tommy suggest and bleed the master cylinder. However you my need a mityvac or at least using one will greatly speed up the process and reduce your stress levels. You can pick one up for around $25 from any auto parts store. If you can't spend the cash or borrow one the old way of bleeding brakes will eventually work. That process is to prime the MC like Graham said, then have a helper open the slave cylinder bleed valve, then squeeze the lever 3/4 of its travel, and while holding this position on the MC lever close the slave cylinder bleed valve. Repeat this process a dozen times and you should start to get pressure at the lever. Now squeeze the lever BEFORE releasing pressure from the slave cylinder, but don't let the lever bleed down all the way, and DO NOT allow the lever to return while the slave cylinder bleed valve is open or you'll just suck in more air. You probably won't be able to get all of the air out, but as long as you can get the clutch operation functioning well enough to ride the rest of the air bubbles will work their way out during use.
