trying to bleed air from fuel lines, om617
starting from dry, remanufactured ip and empty lines. i primed fuel to the filter, no problem. i got air to bleed out of 4 and 5 pretty quick, eventually got #3, nothing from 1 and 2. can i expect it to just take freaking forever?

i recently had that problem, and cranked and cranked for rediculouse amounts of time,
I eventully added in a electrc Fuel pump ( 3-6psi for and Carborated Engine) that helped and I did get istarted that way wired to a push button switch, and after it was started, the fuel sucks through the pump.
a week later I discovered my fuel shut of lever was not opening and contributing to my problem, so Id check that too!!

May be a rotten fuel line that is sucking shut, check any rubber portions of the line, or take it loose at the pump and draw out of a jug. If the problem doesnt resurface, then the issue is between there and the tank.
