Have an older tak tb025. Started spitting and sputtering. Cleaned the fuel filter and separator. Now not getting a spit or sputter. Not sure of process for bleeding to fuel filter. Here is fuel filter. Is one of these screws for bleeding? Thank you

    This elbow is notorious for getting clogged with debris. Cleaning it is step one. Next, the fuel system is primed via an electric pump, circled below. It operates any time the key is ON, and makes a muted "rattle" type sound. To prime the system, turn key on, wait 30 seconds, then start machine. If it doesn't start, repeat the process.

    Or u can crack loose the inlet line AT the injection pump then if it has an electric pump, it’ll push the air out all the way to the inj pump inlet.

    So I tested the pump. Not sure if it's a low pressure lift pump or what it's called. I can't find it in my books
