Big Bob, I have to agree 100% with ole Doug there. Sometimes, if the fuel transfer pumps manual pumper (usually a little arm below it)doesnt seem to be working, turn the engine over slightly to change the position of its arm on the camshaft lobe. Then, open any bleeder plugs on filter top and pump till fuel and no air bubbles come out there, then move farther down the line where u may find more bleeder plugs to crack open to release air. If it still wont prime, I have cracked the injector connections right on their top to bleed some more. I know its bad and Doug cautioned you, but I have cheated with a small amount of either to get them firing till they purge their throats ????????? John T
