Bleeding 1GM

Post by jim jamieson »

I installed new filters on my 1GM. Bled the system and the engine ran on the first crank. Out of curiosity, I opened the bleed screw on the engine filter again and a bit of bubbly fuel still came out. Rebled and engine still runs fine. Out of curiosity, how much residual air will the 1GM tolerate and is it capable of some self-purging?
