Only the starter motor and lights need electricity in this model. If your tractor has ran before there shouldn't be any major problem that causes it not to start. The bleeding of the fuel system is essential for the operation of the engine. If you are not able to bleed it completely you can tow the tractor until it starts. It needs quite a lot of towing until all of the air has been removed.
