If this is on the 550, then fill the fuel tank. Next, open the bleeder on the top of the fuel filter housing, and wait for a fuel stream free of air bubbles. Next, open the small bleeder on the upper rear part of the pump body. It's sticking right out on the side; fairly obvious. Open this, and with the fuel shutoff pulled out, crank the engine over until you get a good stream shooting out, free of air. Close the bleeder. Push the shutoff in. Open all 3 injector lines at the injectors, set throttle to half, and crank until you get fuel at the injectors. You should get fairly good shots at at least 2 injectors before you close the lines up. Should fire off then. It's also a good idea to change the fuel filter after having run tank dry, as whatever crap was in the tank is now in the filter. If you've already filled the tank, don't worry about it today, get her running first. If you need more help, post back.
