By my way of thinking you shouldnt get much air in your system changing fuel filters and I always bleed if needed while the engine is running. Too much cranking with the seacock shut could wipe out your impellor... especially if the engine starts up! I suppose that is the lessor of the evils though... A better setup would be to have a drain spigot on your waterlift muffler to open while cranking.... |
Your right. It usually is not a problem .
Having the decompression levers turned did not help either.
You learn something every day.....
