It may be bronze colored, I forget off hand. Anyway, unscrew the screw a bit, there is no reason to take the screw completely off. Because there is a small hole in the screw to bleed the air. Once the screw is opened up a bit, pump the primer bulb until fuel starts coming out of the hole in the screw. There will be some air bubbles coming at first, but keep priming until the fuel comes out in a stream. Then screw the screw down and try to start. I have always been able to start a machine that has run out of fuel without messing around with the round bleeder or cracking injectors. You may need to repeat the process a couple of times, or it may go on the first try. It helps if someone else is around to keep priming the bulb as you crank the engine over. What you are encountering is not out of the ordinary. Good luck.</p></blockquote><p></p>
