Well the pump was out of the engine at the time, although your point is well-received.

I attempted to set the pump right (getting a better drip tube soon!) tonight and it sounds like it wants to turn over and go. I hear one or two cylinders burning diesel and I smell it. But the battery went dead before I could get it to start.

I also think I'm having issues (or underestimate) just how much air is in the lines. It just dribbles out. I have seen it squirt out before, which is why I am blaming air. Does it usually take the better part of forever to bleed fuel lines? Frustrating.
