FILLING THE FUEL SYSTEM
For the initial start of a new engine, or for an engine that ran out of fuel or was
drained of fuel, the fuel system should be filled as follows:
1. Squeeze the fuel line primer bulb until it feels firm.
2. Turn the ignition key switch to the "ON" position for three seconds. This
operates the electric fuel pump.
3. Turn the ignition key switch back to the "OFF" position, and squeeze the
primer bulb again until it feels firm. Turn the ignition key switch to the
"ON" position again for three seconds. Continue this procedure until the
fuel line primer bulb stays firm.
