Hi guys, Ive recently bought a 1986 MK patrol with an l28 petrol engine. I changed the fuel filter next to the pump to try and solve an issue of the engine hunting while idling. She started so i put everything away. Later when i tried to start her, she wouldn't. I turned the engine over a bunch of times because i was in a hurry (which in retrospect may not have been the best idea). I figured it must be air in the line but i cant figure out how to bleed the fuel out. trawled forums and found nothing. I also tried spraying starter fluid straight into the carby but she still wouldnt start, wouldnt even hint at starting.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi roofy, sorry, forgot to read the rules. No there isn't a glass bowl, I cant see any sort of valve anywhere either.
