  Bleeding is simply a matter of pulling the return line banjo 
fitting from the top of the pump (non turbo) and making sure 
the pump is full of fuel (pour in clean fuel as necessary).  Then 
crank until it's clear and runs.  Usually two or three 15 second 
cranking sessions.  Linkage is simply pushing the cold start 
knob in and then checking the lever behind the pump.  The 
lever should be all the way against its stop.  Loosen the screw 
adjust and retighten if needed.
  Sounds more like the timing's off, maybe a low compression 
cylinder, bad injector or such.
