Max-- Seems you get the prize on this as Stranded was able to purge the air in fuel system per the latest e-mail posted on the subject. What is a "staubkess steek bolt"? And, Where is it? Once I find it, and let's say I'm trying to purge air out of the system, is it a mere opening of the bolt and the air will hiss out and then I see fuel and I tighten the bolt back. Or, does the fuel need to run out for a while, say let a pint of fuel run out to be sure it purged? And also, will the air purge by itself or does the fuel pump have to be running? Thanks in Advance, Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA
