4        Retighten knob on hand feed pump.
Note: This forces the pump piston against a sealing ring and seals the hand pump off from atmosphere. If knob is released during operation, hand feed pump will leak, allowing air to enter fuel system.
5        Run engine and check whether all connections are tight.
