It is hard to say what is going on.

Some members have had problems with the Febi copy of the new style Bosch Hand Primers
.
One member had a problem with a Bosch Hand Primer, took it back and exchanged it for another and had a problem with that one. He took it back and got his money back.

He went to another store and bought another Bosch Hand Primer and that one worked fine. He concluded that the first Store must have received a batch of defective Bosch hand primers and that the one he purchased from the last different store must have come from another batch.

To see if your Fuel Supply/Lift Pump is working loosen some of the Hard Fuel Injection Line Nuts at the Injectors and crank the Engine to bleed the Air out. Tighten the Nuts and attempt to start. If it runs OK after that your Lift Pump is OK and you can concentrate on seeing if the Hand Primer is defective.
