Hi everyone
Tim here from hot Greece
Trying to bleed a Minimec fuel pump on a Ford 120 hp 6 cyl
There appears to be 2 bleed screws on the side and all lines and filters up to the pump are full.
The cut off lever is off
I can’t seem to get diesel to bubble out of either.

First you bleed the on engine fuel filters then you bleed the fuel pump. Be sure on the pump you are using the actual bleed bolts. There are two similar bolts slightly lower that are easily confused. Do you have an electric priming pump or just using the manual pump? Not impossible that your manual pump has failed. Even if not it might require a lot of pumps if dry.
 
Two bleed bolts are located above the letters.
