On the driver's side of the engine, look down below/behind the power steering pump. You'll see (most likely) a round, white cylinder, about the diameter of a half dollar. (If that pump's been replaced, it will be black, and a little smaller)
Pull that white cylinder - it's the manual/hand primer pump. Pump it probably 50 or 60 times (no joke). You should be able to see the small, clear fuel filter fill with fuel as you pump.
If that cylinder is black, then it's a spring loaded "button" style...just press it down, and it will pop back up automatically. Do that a BUNCH of times.
Either way, pump it forever...then crank the engine (after glowing the plugs, of course).
EDIT: just noticed you have a 190D. My instructions are for my OM617 engine...probably similar set up for your car too.
