M1030M1 out of fuel

Ok. I’ve followed the procedure for getting the air out of the system using the bleed valve and compression release. The bubbles won’t stop coming. After closing the bleed valve, and comp release the engine will start and run for a second then quit. Anyone have this experience. Seems I can’t get the air out.

Ok. After bleeding (and praying some) all day, she finally aired out and sputtered to life. With the air gone it starts right up again. So, the bleeding process is a bit tedious.
