As I said before this is a no worries job. The Haynes manual actually has a
reasonably good write up on how it works but I will endevor to explain.
First off warm the engine up so it'll start easily later.
The primary filter doesn't spin on the bolt on top unbolts. So get both
filters off.
Put the secondary on, fill the primary with Diesel Kleen or equivalent, use a
cleaner like that, fuel from a can would be both unwieldy and not filtered...
Put the primary up but don't tighten the bolt all the way. Pump the primer and
you'll notice bubbles coming out around the bolt head. When the bubbles stop
and its all fuel tighten it up and start the car. Keep your foot into the go
pedal to maintain high idle incase theres a little air but there shouldn't be.
As Marshall or somebody else has undoubably already said if the pump leaks
you replace it its junk.

I guess I didn't stop to think: Am I being naive by not being more
trepidacious about introducing air into the fuel system by changing the
filters? I assumed I'd have to use the hand primer pump to get fuel up
to
the IP, or injectors (you can see my lack of understanding here). But
is it
really a difficult undertaking - the filter changing process - due to
the
air in the system? I was planning on just pouring fuel from a can into
the
spin-on filter.
So, when using the primer pump, you just pump 'til it begins to leak
out
onto your hands? If not, how do you know when the job is done?
And what would happen if one didn't use the hand pump at all, and just
tried
to start it. I assume they'd get no start, but would they royally mess
the
system up in the process?
This is why I LOVED it when I installed an electric fuel pump on my big
block, and chucked the manual one completely - and put a steel plate
over
its place on the block. No matter what I did, I could just turn on that
trusty little pump, and I'd have fuel at the carbs in a few seconds.

If the condition is the result of physical blow(s), it will not be an
electronic adjustment but a physical repair to correct. Take it apart
and see what is going on, I'm surprised you've waited this long to pull
it apart.
Very respectfully,

Any chance that there are some kind of adjustment screws or whatever
inside? I'm thinking like a computer monitor where one is able to move
the screen side to side etc by pushing buttons.

Odd thing this. Physically it seems fine, and the screen is where it
should be, but it just will not align properly and always fails that
part of the self test. Some programs with options across the top cannot
be accessed; often you need to press outside of whatever spot you are
supposed to press to get a result. Some other Items seem to work just
as they should. I think it is electronic - have even resorted to a
couple of firm taps from the opposite direction of the way it smacked
into the cement with no result I could see. The cost thing is something
I fear is true, that to replace would be cheaper than repair. It does
me no good as is, so am willing to entrust it to someone with some
interest or experience with these things. BillR

Do you mean the screen is physically out of whack or electronically? If
it is just twisted in the case (not sure how that could be) then sounds
like you just need to open it up and realign it. If it is the screen
image then I am not sure how that could be fixed (unless you whack it
again) -- might need some major parts transplant, which would probably
cost more than a new/used one.
