No smoke at all was coming out, didn't give the hint that it wanted to start, just cranked over.

I know the pump was primed as I pulled one of the lines off, and checked it, and it did have the drop of fuel come out as it was turning over.

I made a drip tube from an old line. It just requires removing the spring from underneath where the line screws onto right? Then just put the "bushing" that you screw the line onto back on with not spring and valve right?

It isn't that bad it only takes about 10 minutes to get the lines off and valve cover back off, so it should be pretty easy. I think the hardest part is getting the rubber line back onto the fuel inlet to go into the IP for the fuel bottle to supply the fuel into the IP.

Have duty today, so will give it a shot tomorrow afternoon when I get home.

Thanks for your help!
