Beta fuel bleed screw.

[KREW2]

I have just serviced one of our club mooring boats, it's an oldish Beta 14.
The fuel filter housing is different to the 20hp Beta models that we have. To get at the filter I had to remove the fuel lines to get a wrench on, but I got it off eventually.
I located the lift pump but I cannot find a bleed screw, and the manual is no help.
Anybody on here know where it is?

The Operator Manual suggests there should be a bleed screw on top of the engine fuel filter, and a second bleed screw on the fuel injection pump.

Just been down to check, engine fuel filter housing is different from the manual, and all of the other three other Betas I look after, and no bleed screw that I can see anywhere.
I installed the engine a few years back. I must have bled it by loosening the injectors.

I previously had a Beta 14 and I'm sure I used a screw to bleed the engine, though I can't remember exact details, and didn't need to loosen injectors.

I have the Beta manual in our workshop, ours looks nothing like it. I don't know how old the engine is 2007 I think.
I'll post a picture tomorrow.

My Beta 13.5 only has one bleed screw, on the side of the injection pump. There is no bleed screw on the integral fuel filter.
Instructions are: Open the bleed screw 1 1/2 turns.
Hand prime until no bubbles from the bleed screw.
Close bleed screw.
Hand prime for a further 30 seconds.

Me, I use the starter motor to initially bleed then start.

Thanks,
I phoned Beta who were very helpful. They pointed me to the bolt on the front of the injector pump. It is basically the inlet fuel pipe connector from the fuel filter.
