They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I've read thousands of words here and elsewhere about bleeding the Westerbeke 40, but haven't found any clear pictures of where to bleed on the injector pump. I've attached 2 photos showing what I think are the bleed points B and C as described in the manual. Can anyone confirm or deny that I'm on the right path? I'm pretty sure C is correct, but B has another screw on the opposite side of that little manifold. Does it matter which I bleed from, or can I use either? So far I've replaced all fuel hoses from the tank through to the lift pump, replaced the Racor cartridge, replaced the standard secondary cartridge with a Wix adaptor and spin on filter, and bled up to and through the top of the secondary fuel filter. I'm getting ready to bleed the injector pump, but since access to that side of the engine is limited, I'd like to be sure I'm turning the right screws when I finally do squeeze my hands and various other body parts in there. Please be gentle, this is my first time attempting this procedure on this engine. Thanks for any advice.
Those are the right ports. Bleed the lower one first, then the upper one.
If you don't have an inline electric fuel pump, I HIGHLY recommend one just for bleeding. Cheap and easy, I didn't even wire mine, just used jumper leads from the starter solenoid when I needed to change a filter.
Thanks so much for the confirmation. I do have an in-line 12V pump, just trying to find a good location to install it. I like the jumper wire idea, it should be easy to reach the back of my battery switch and a ground buss from the area around the Racor.
