Bleeding a diesel engine

Well you can make things a little easier on yourself:
- Racor has a fuel filter with a built-in hand pump
-or you could install an electric pump in the fuel system
-only open the bleed screw on the injector pump, at least as a first try.
My experience (with Yanmars) is that if you pump fuel to the injector pump
the engine will start, run rough, and then operate normally. No need to
bleed injectors.
-my other experience with Yanmars is that the hand lever on the engine fuel
pump is pretty useless for bleeding, hence my addition of the Racor filter
with pump.
The engine is a Universal. It is enough to bleed at the injector pump. But it
still takes a contortionist.
