Anyone in east valley have an Avid brake bleed kit they could lend for a day or two?

Pulled my bike out after not riding for quite a while and felt the lever was loose and floppy before engaging. I did find the banjo bolt at the pads was loose so I tightened that. Opened the resevior at the top / lever and it was full. Tried putting a few more drops of fluid in and closed it up. Now my lever comes all the way back to my grip and it feels as though the piston is not returning so there is no pressure. This had me up for too long last night trying to tap out any air bubbles and also from teh top with a syringe push fluid into the system. No luck. I'm hoping a simple proper bleed will correct it. Any other thoughts?
