Maverik Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Have you just tried starting it and then cracking open lines? - or get someone to turn the engine over while you crack open lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romahomepete Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Have you checked that you are getting fuel from the lift pump when you use the priming lever. If the engine is stopped in the wrong place then the lever will not work. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hall Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The manual for the injector pump has the words in the picture below about priming. The important part is that the stop control lever must be in the Run position (obviously) and the gas pedal must be right down (Diesel Turbo in the 90 / 110 has to be primed and started with the gas pedal up). The bleed screw you labelled A is on the governor and sometimes doesn't fill up until the engine has been running. I usually slacken all 4 high pressure pipes at the injectors.
