Having trouble priming this thing. The pump is pumping because there is diesel in the return lines on back of the injectors, but I'm not getting any out of where I've cracked open the lines on top of the injectors. I know my 705, which has the same pump, is a bear to prime- it took over 2 hours of cranking and jumping to get it to prime the 2 times I stupidly ran it out. I haven't been able to crank on this one very steady because of time and weather and I don't want to burn up the starter, but does someone have a trick to this or do I just need to be patient? Also the tank is only a quarter full, should I fill it so gravity is forcing more into the pump to get a prime? Just seems to be running out the line kinda slow. The book says to have plenty of fuel in the tank when priming so I'm wondering if I should quit being lazy and carry more fuel into the shop and fill the thing up.
