guys.. i have a 336D and there are two little bleeders on each side of the shut off valve at the top of the filter.. yes-- there is a bleeder on the inj pump.. but once you bleed both sides of the filter.. fuel is then in the injector pump because the bleeder is higher than the pump... so air is coming back up the line from the pump and getting out that bleeder.. ive done both and just the two on the filter do the trick..
however.. depending on his tractor... i have ALWAYS had to bleed the injector lines.. i can crank it til the battery is dead and if i dont bleed the lines it wont start.. evern the dealer when i bought it new back in the early 80's had do that. I'm not saying yours wont start like that but if i run out of fuel to the point of the tractor dying... count on cracking all of the injector lines.. you can hear them when they start to run out.. if you shut it down and get it refueled you can get by with the filter bleeders.. maybe!!!! and even then its going to spit and sputter for a while before it really catches on.
maybe some difference in models or IP's would dictate if you have to bleed the injector lines at the injectors.. who knows... just giving him my experience and Ive run this tractor for about 26 or 27 years now and that's how its been since day one.
mine is one of the first 336D's on the market so if his way doesnt work try mine!
