There is a bleeding screw on the top of the filter assembly,in the center of the two.Pump with the hand pump untill you get the filters both full of fuel and then it will squirt out the top.Then tighten that one and move onto the injector pump.There is a small one on the side of the pume,takes a 5/16 or 1/4 inch wrench.Pump untill it squirts out of there as well and tighten that one aswell.Then loosen an injector line fitting at the injector itself and start rolling the engine over.They can be abit cranky so you may need to use some either to get it running at first,then re-tighten the line and you've got it.pd.

Hi,
Follow Phillip's instructions but I would suggest a minimum of loosening two or better three injector pipe nuts. You will have more than one rearing to go then!!!!!

IO'm not saying it's politically correct or not, but if the injectors are as hard to get to like they are on most tractors, I just crack the line at the pump. Still get the same effect, and it'll always pop off after bleeding 1 or 2 lines at the pump.

Haven't had to crack the 3rd line yet when the rest of the system is bled properly.

Not saying it's right or wrong, just what I've done many times in the past instead of fighting with the lines at the injectors.

That's a neat idea.I always thought that it had to be at the injector to get the air out of the line as well.pd

Hi,
It is always better to slacken the injector pipe nut, then there is no air trapped in the pipes.
