On the fuel cutoff switch what does o and c mean? I have a Ford 1210.

That's what I thought but I want to make sure.

Get a cup, take fuel hose off while it is on "C" and do the proof positive. While the hose is off slowly turn it to "O" to see if fuel flows in to a cup, then you'll know it for sure. No shop or owner's manual is necessary.

one needs to be self reliant to the extent possible. It pays deviants in many ways.

JC,

Since I ran it an hour on C would i need to bleed the fuel line? If so do you know how to do that?

Alb,

If after running it for one hr and since then you have not replaced filter, removed any fuel line to the injectors, did not mess with air release screws on the fuel pump or filter then "No" .. you do not need to bleed.

it would be extremely hard to start or maintain running the engine for one hr if you still had compressible air in the fuel lines up to the injectors.

JC,

I have a model 1715 and "O" is open and "C" is closed.
