Starting Engine - After Fuel Injection Pump Installation and
Timing
Generally purging air from the system is only needed after draining and replacing the water
separating fuel filter or purging a new filter of air. In most cases the design of the EDI System
will prevent needing to purge the Fuel Injection Pump itself.
After installing the fuel injection pump, checking or setting pump timing, it will be necessary
to fill the fuel injection system.
NOTE: Place a suitable container under fuel filter to catch excess fuel.
1. Loosen bleed screw on fuel filter bracket.
2. Move plunger on hand pump/primer up and down repeatedly, until an air free stream of
fuel flows from bleed screw. Filter is full when this occurs.
3. Tighten bleed screw.
