Replace the hand pump, you aren't going anywhere until you do.

Once you have a new hand pump installed, crack the bleed screw on the fuel filter and pump untill no more air comes out. This will take a while.

Close the bleed screw and then pump until you can hear the fuel hissing out of the injection pump. You have run all the fuel out of the pump when you started it the first time, bad luck that the lift pump didn't fill the filter and IP again.

Now, crack the injector lines and crank until you get all the air out. Hold the throttle wide open while doing this, it takes less time that way.

When you get fuel only, tighten the cap nuts and glow it, then it should start. You will at least have oiled the engine properly by now....!

The key is no air in the injectors. Hold you foot to the floor when you try to start it, this will help purge the air out.

Plan on charging the battery several times.
