Forgot to say that I second it that it might be an injector tube. It is possible it could be a cracked head, but I doubt it. And a trick my dad uses when starting a 471 for the first time is to leave the valve cover off and use a pair of vice grips to grab the rack tube (which opens the injectors and is run by the governor). Unhook the governor rod first. This way you can easily shut down the fuel if something goes wrong. Just make sure you know which way is off.
