A couple ways of doing the bleed is to pull on the pump lever open it right up and let it idle a while till bubbles run out, or run a tank of mix gas through then check for bubbles, or take the air box out and use a mirror and socket and universal to open bleed screw. Engineers should be required to do all maintence items on equipment themselves before sending it out to the real world. Just sayin.

Thanks! Yea I was able to stuff a long screw driver down and open the pump wide open and then let it idle for ten. Put some 50:1 in the tank as well just to be safe. Maintenance on this one is sure a little bit more difficult then my old one lunger.
