So I need to do the above, and while I know where the little pump button is, does anyone have a picture showing which bolt to crack to bleed?

Thanks in advance.

Not strictly necessary in my experience - just pump it until you feel you are pumping solid fuel (no springiness) and give it another few strokes.

Edit: Some priming pumps need to be unscrewed before pumping by unscrewing the handle a couple of turns, then screwed up again after priming. Some do not require this.

Ok so last time I did this, I unscrewed the pump and pushed it a bunch. Then I snapped the banjo bolt and needed Brad from KLR to come fix/replace it.

Don't want to bugger this up again.
