Brian, I think you’re going to need to get the air out of the system by using the manual pump and the bleed screws along the way.

Now presumably there is some air in the fuel hose. Do I have to bleed that air using the tiny manual fuel pump on the side of the engine? Or can I try to start the engine [it has been winterized for 6 months] and hopefully pull the air “bubble” to the fuel filter / engine? There is ~ 6’ of fuel hose from the tank to a Racor, then another 4’ of fuel hose to reach the fuel pump, so it would take a long time and be quite a bit of fuel that is pumped out of the small Yanmar fuel filter bleed screw. Hoping to minimize the time and inevitable diesel dribbles on the side of the engine.
