If tbe fuel system bas been opened at any time,<br />
sar for au overhaul, it is necessary to ensure that<br />
all air bas been removed before attempting to<br />
start the engine. This should he done as follows :<br />
Pressure Fed Systems.<br />
Slacken small plug on the top of final filter<br />
and operate the hand primer on the fuel lift<br />
pump until Cue! free from air bubb!es issues from<br />
the plug hole. Tighten the plug.<br />
Slacken tbe bleed cock on the top of the fuel<br />
pump.<br />
Again operate the hand primer on the fuel lift<br />
pump unti! fuel issues from the bleed cock and all<br />
signs of air have disappeared.<br />
Tighten the b!eed cock securely and give the<br />
primer a few more strokes in order to deliver tbe<br />
