Changed fuel filter today on my MX5100, following the steps in the Op Manual for bleeding. But the engine shut down just before I closed the bleed valve and will not restart. Apparently the next step would be to bleed one (or more) of the fuel injection lines, but how do you get to the top of the block on the MX5100 to do that? I cannot get a wrench on any of them. Remove the fuel tank???
NOTE: I could see there was air in the bowl, but the Manual doesn't say to fill the bowl so I thought it would be OK. Maybe that was my mistake.
I talked to a mechanic at my local dealer over the phone. He thought I should be able to reach the injector, I don't see how. He will come up after Xmas if I can't get figure it out. I guess there is the same issue with getting to the glow plugs.
