Default starting problems

hi a mate has bought a ex rally group n spec escort cosworth

had a few little problems for mot etc that he was sorting

anyway it ran out of fuel and now won't start

it cranks over but won't start

the fuel pump kicks in no probs

but spark plugs aren't wet

somebody has said it needs the fuel regulator bleeding?

could this be true and if so how is it done ??

there is a in pipe and a out pipe on regulator also

the pressure adjustment screw

and another that looks like a blanking screw could this be bleedscrew
