Priming the Fuel System
Important The fuel system may need to be primed
when a new engine is started for the first time, if it runs out
of fuel or if maintenance is performed on the fuel system.
1. Unlatch and raise hood.
2. Insert a 3/16 in. hose over bleed screw and run other
end into a container to catch fuel.
3. Loosen fuel filter/water separator bleed screw (Fig. 20)
a few turns. Pump priming plunger until a steady stream
of fuel comes out of hole in bleed screw. When fuel
stops foaming, tighten the bleed screw during the
downstroke of the priming plunger. Wipe up any spilled
fuel.
Note: Priming fuel filter without opening bleed screw may
damage priming plunger.
4. Pump priming plunger until resistance is felt. Try to
start engine. If engine does not start repeat step 3.
