i went out and worked the hand pump for about 20 minutes, cracking the banjo on the filter housing a few times. I opened up the lines and cranked the car and she felt like she was trying to start on two cylinders. I closed them all up and tried it again......... successfully killed my battery just as the car started shaking and vibrating from the engine about to fire.
:-( have to wait til the morning to try again when my battery is charged.
