This is rather interesting. So, if the delivery valve seals are not doing the job, the IP can't overcome the air in the hard lines?? Allowing the fuel to fill the hard lines by cracking them will overcome this issue??

What other symptoms are present with marginal delivery valve seals on the 617? The inability of starting the engine without cracking the injector lines should be a clue to other symptoms..........or not??
