installing newer Merc 135- bleed oil system?

[IGKNIGHTED]

I am replacing my blown 1987 Black Max 135 with a 1994 Black MAx 135- everything seems to be pretty much the same but what are some of the things I should do before starting it up? The '94 hasnt been run since last year. It was drained of fuel and fogged before storage.
Do I need to bleed the oil injection system if the only line that was disconnected was the line form the main tank to reservoir on the engine?
If so whats the procedure?
Thanks for the help!

Probably not. Just watch for an air bubble in the engine oil tank. Loosen the cap and let it off (while running) if it shows up. If you forget this and it's serious enough, the oil alarm should sound way before any damage.

Be sure no spiders or mud daubers have made a home in the disconnected lines before you hook them up.

hope it helps
