Pull it off and it will flow. DO you want to drain the oil tank? You could just use the oil line for that.

Greetings:

The purpose of bleeding is so that the engine doesn't run for a few minutes with only air being pumped into the barb - the time it takes for the pump to fill the tube. You can use any sort of syringe - a bulb-type ear-dropper from the drugstore or hit up your local Heroin addict for leftover hypodermics. Wear rubber gloves. :wink: Lots of kids' medicines come with measuring syringes too.

Suck up some of your favorite 2-stroke oil and plug the syringe at one end of the pump-to-manifold line. Squirt until it comes out the other end, then use a deft finger to retain the oil in the line while you plug in the lowest-lying end of the line, then the other. Presto! When the pump starts working, the engine will immediately start receiving oil.
