Default 93 protege rear brake problem

I have a 93 protege, with discs on the front and drums on the back. Just replaced the master cylinder, seals were nasty and appeared to be deteriorating. When I bled the brakes, all the brakes bleed fine except the right rear. I cannot get any fluid out of the bleeder valve. Pedal is very soft.
I checked the porportioning valve and found that the line coming out of the valve that supplies the right rear brake has no fluid coming out when you pump the brakes. The other outlets have fluid coming out. Can these valves go bad?


thanks for the feedback.

The valves can go bad if alot of grime builds up on them you should try to flush the brake system and maybe that will clear clog to the rear drum.
