Another trick, take off the fuel cap and wrap an airline in rag which you then stuff into the filler and pressure the tank, doesn't need to be much but garuntees fuel gets through. An odd thought, there isn't a paticular set of steps for bleeding is there? Some engines need say 5 pushes of the throttle then turn over and push pedal 5 more times. May be worth giving a local dealer a ring. (Or the bodge way, get a lot of cans of Easy start and just keep squirting and swearing) This method is TOTALLY banned to our Bus Engineers, so they use brake claener sprays.
