I set up a bottle with fresh diesel in it, changed both filters (filled spin on with fresh diesel), primed ... no start ... even with pedal down, I can't even get a little try out of it. There is some reason I can't get air out of the system, and I really don't understand it. Maybe my primer pump is broken (already). I continually get air bubbles in the clear fuel hose between the spin on filter and IP. No matter how much I pump, more bubbles appear, and they don't always come out of the loosened bolt on the spin-on filter (plenty of diesel does though ... there is just diesel everywhere in my garage).
I used the same set-up as the dieselgiant tutorial, only with diesel instead of DieselPurge. Fuel does drip out of the return hose, when I prime or when I crank. But it's not always coming out of the fuel lines on the injectors.
Taking a break ... the diesel smell is making me sick.
