I'm communicating with guys by phone -- how/where tell them to bleed injectors? Is there diagram ez to find? Some suggestions say bleed valve on fuel filter or remove fuel filter -- what do you suggest? Its the 73(?) engine. Damn batteries soon be dead.

Someone came, now jumping bat.

I suggest you use some wd-40 or brake cleaner in the filter to start it and keep it running for 30 seconds. Not ether.
