Past experience makes me think that it is a matter of luck. I assume you know
to fill the fuel bowl after inserting the filter. Turn on the ignition switch
to start the electric pump and open the bleed screw on the top of the filter.
I do not recall if there was another bleed valve at the mechanical pump. The
last bleed point is at the injectors. After this, with luck, the engine should
start.

I hate to admit this, but I am going to replace the fuel filters on my
Universal M4-30 this spring, and I have not done it before on this engine. The
manual says it has a continuous bleed system. What it doesn’t say is what that
means. Does it mean I can just replace the filters, turn on the fuel pump and
it will bleed itself so I don’t have to open any bleed screws? If so, I want
to buy a bottle of rum for whomever designed the system. I am thinking back to
the wrestling matches I had with my previous Yanmar after changing filters.
