I changed the filter in the sediment bowl, and it wouldn't start. Cleaned the old filter and it started right up--go figure. Had to fiddle with the shut-off valve on the sediment bowl, it started instantly, then died. Now it won't start, but it wants to--it is definitely getting fuel from the tank. I assume the system needs bleeding. That hasn't been necessary for 30 years. My IT manual describes the process, but the photo identifying the bleed screw isn't the same as my engine. In this photo of mine, can someone point out the bleed screw. I assume it is either the screw on top of the incoming fuel line shown between #1 and #2 high pressure lines, or the screw behind the throttle rod. Thanks in advance.
