Bleeding The Fuel System - Husqvarna PT-26D Operator's Manual

Bleeding the fuel system

If you have run out of fuel, the fuel system must be
bled. Facilitatebleeding by pumping using a hand
pump. Remove the fuel tank filler cap and check the
return fuel to the tank. When bubble free fuel flows to
the tank, the engine can be started.
Carry out full bleeding as follows:
1. Slacken off the bleed screw on the fuel filter holder
at least 1/2 a turn.
2. Pump using the hand pump until clean fuel,
without air bubbles, exits the drain hole. Tighten
the screw moderately.
3. Slacken off the bleed screw on the injection pump
at least 1/2 a turn. Pump using the hand pump until
clean fuel, without air bubbles, exits the drain hole.
Tighten the screw moderately.
4. Rotate the engine with the starter motor for a
maximum of 15 seconds. Wait 30 seconds before
the next start attempt.
