I have a yanmar 2GM20F engine. The fuel feed pump went bad and was leaking diesel while running. I replaced it. To bleed I opened the bleed screw at the top of the secondary fuel filter and started pumping the fuel feed pump. I saw some bubbles and a little fuel, but never really saw fuel flowing out of the bleed screw, as I would have expected. After about 20 min of pumping, I decided to just try the engine. It turned over immediately. I ran it up and heard no knocking, so don't think there is any air in the line.
Why did I not see full fuel flow out the bleed screw over the top of the fuel filter? Is this normal?
