Opening the water drain will drain water/fuel not air. It will add air. Shut the valve and turn the key to "run" about three times for 10 seconds each then try to start it up. That should bleed the air out. Or take the lid off the filter and top it off with fuel or a additive.

the owners manual says it may run rough for a while until all the air is purged out of the system
