Another thing I have done off and on over about thirty years of experience on diesels from the 53 series Detroits to the 250 and up Cummins, cut a piece of plywood a little bigger than the fill hole on the fuel tank. cut out a piece of inner tube about the same size, place the inner tube below the plywood for a seal and drill a hole through both of them. Insert an air nozzle off an air line and put a little air to the tank to put a little pressure on the fuel system. Be careful not to get carried away and blow something up, but just keep triggering the nozzle to keep 5-10 lbs on the tank while someone turns the engine over. This usually picks up the fuel and gets you going. Later, Harley
