The bleeder screw is on top of the filter housing. Make sure it is not loose to start with, if it is tight, loosen it and pump up the system by pushing down on the "pump" which is near the bleeder. (the pump looks like a closed cylinder, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter) Pump until fuel comes out of the bleeder. Listen for air that might be escaping prior to the fuel coming out.

Once you get fuel through the bleeder close the bleeder and pump the pump a half a dozen times or so, then try starting the engine.

if the engine starts, then your fuel system is getting air in the lines.
