Also be sure to check all your electrical connections. A slightly loose or dirty connection or ground will cause trouble too.

To prime a dry diesel you can spray WD 40 into the intake directly to get it started. Just remove the air filter and spray directly into the intake. It will run on it until the fuel starts pumping. (Don't use ether though).
