Greetings, I'm working on a new-to-me 5200 diesel that was run out of fuel. Filled it up and opened the bleed screw on the injector pump and cranked until I got fuel. Closed it up and tried to start. Cranked for a bit but no fire. Later I learned about the primer on top of the fuel filter so hit that a few times, cranked, nothing. A few more, cranked, nothing. A bunch more, cranked and fired up. Whew! New problem... now there is no response at the throttle. All of the linkage is fine and moves freely at the injection pump. Did I damage the pump? or what am I missing???? Thanks!
