Yes, drain the tank and re-fuel. There will be a shut-off tap, either at the base of the tank, or on the lift pump. Make sure that you have unrestricted fuel flow past this tap. Next, check the strainer in the top of the lift pump itself. Remove the cover from the lift pump and remove any crud from the strainer and with-in the cavity of the pump body. The filter is the next port of call for the fuel on it's way the engine, so replace it and also check and tighten all pipe fittings here. An ingress of air, or a fuel leak can occur at a loose pipe fitting. Next, go to the injector pump, and remove the lower of the two bleed screws. The one in question is located about half way along the round part of the "body" of the fuel injection pump. It will be unscrewed with a 5/16" AF ring spanner. Remove it completely. Now, prime the lift pump by hand. You should get a solid flow of fuel from this port on the pump. If this is not possible, try rotating the engine itself, either by hand, or with the starter motor roughly 180 degrees. Try the primer lever again, you should "feel" some resistance thru the stroke of the lever. Fuel should now flow solidly from the injector pump bleed-screw. Refit and tighten the screw. Now loosen one of the three injector lines to the cylinder head roughly two turns. Pull the hand throttle a third of the way down, and crank the engine. The engine should start to fire on the other two cylinders. Once this occurs, tighten the fitting. Job done (hopefully). Let us know your progress, Evan.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
