I could only find the process for bleeding fuel lines for the fuel injected version. Can someone share the best way to bleed the line for the carbureted version? Fuel tank gauge faulty, resulting in running out of gas. Has not started since.
 
Never had to, but I would try topping up the fuel filter/water separator and then crank it. Do not crank for more than 30 seconds cumulatively unless you disable the water pump as the water can backfill the exhaust. Also don't crank longer than 5-10 seconds at a time, give it a 30 second rest in-between to prevent overheating the starter motor.
