Bleeding the Fuel System
Air must be removed from the fuel after replacement of the
fuel filter element, or when the tank has been run out of
fuel, before starting the engine.
To remove air, ensure the fuel inlet shut - off located on the
side of the fuel tank is open (Fig. 4.8F). Open the bleed
valve by turning it counter clockwise (Fig. 4.8G) on top of
the injector pump. Place the throttle at idle, then turn the
engine over with the starter. After the engine starts and
runs smoothly, shut off the engine and close the bleed
valve by turning it clockwise.
