Bleeding fuel on 4600

So I finally got the new fuel injection pump installed. I get a good fuel stream at the bleeder valve. I'm just getting a trickle where the fuel line enters the engine. That may be normal, I'm just not sure. It didn't start, but by the time I had it bled and getting fuel through the battery was starting to die down.

I just wanted to ask if there is a proper procedure or trick to bleeding the fuel system and getting it running. In case I've done something wrong.
 
Showcrop: I'm not quite sure how to answer. It's an aftermarket pump.

This is the type:

Pull the throttle about 1/3 open. Open the bleed screw on top of the filter and let it bleed out until you see no bubbles, close it off.
open the bleeder on the pump and loosen all the injector line nuts. crank the engine until fuel squirts out of the bleeder on the pump,close
it off, crank the engine until you get fuel to each injector and shut them off. It should now start and run.
 
Welding man: That is the process I did, except for the throttle part. I'll give it another try today if the rain holds off. Also, I think the fuel level in the tank is low so I might have to top that up. Thanks.
 
The fuel tank should be full and if you fill it and open the valve , let it sit it kind of flows down on its own sometimes on my 4500 I give it a little shot of starting fluid and it starts right up
