When do you get the mushy pedal? All the time? On hard braking? Can you "pump up" the brakes?
Have you tried gravity bleeding the system? Make sure the master is full, then crack open all 4 bleeders and let gravity do the work for a couple of hours. Pay attention that the master stays full. If there's air in the lines, that should purge it.
If you still have a soft pedal, consider that fluid may be bypassing inside the master due to a worn seal between the chambers. A rebuild kit should solve that.
Have fun!
