AFTER RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
When starting after running out of fuel, fill with fuel, then bleed the air from the fuel system before starting.
PROCEDURE FOR BLEEDING AIR
CAUTION
This engine consists of higher precision parts than on the conventional fuel injection pump and nozzle, so if dirt gets in, it will
cause problems. If there is any dirt stuck to the fuel line, use fuel to wash it off completely.
Be careful when opening the air bleed plug at the fuel filter head and the air bleeder of the supply pump. The system is still
under pressure and fuel may spurt out.
1.
Remove fuel filter cartridge (1), fill the inside of the filter with
clean fuel, taking care not to let dirt or dust get in, then install
it again.
Add fuel from small hole (A) (dirty side) at eight places. Do not
add fuel from hole (B) (clean side) at the center.
If clean fuel is not available, go on to Step 2.
2.
Loosen air bleed plug (2) at the fuel filter head.
3.
Loosen the knob of priming pump (3), then pump the knob and
check that fuel comes out from air bleed plug (2).
4. Tighten air bleed plug (2).
Tightening torque: 7.8 to 9.8 N·m (0.8 to 1 kgf·m, 5.8 to 7.2 lbft)
5.
Loosen air bleeder (4) of the supply pump.
6. Pump priming pump (3) approx. 90 to 100 times until no more
bubbles come out with the fuel from air bleeder (4), then tighten
air bleeder (4).
Tightening torque: 4.9 to 6.9 N·m (0.5 to 0.7 kgf·m, 3.6 to 5.1
lbft)
7.
Continue pumping until priming pump (3) becomes stiff.
8. Push the knob of priming pump (3) in and tighten it.
9.
Turn the key in the starting switch to the START position and
start the engine. If the engine does not start, repeat the
procedure from Step 2.
