Indeed...

Quite right to correct me: the York compressor was used up to engine number 67785. Mine was chassis # 2940, engine 71223, built 04/79. As such, it already had the Harrison compressor, but earlier...

As has been stated, the aux pump (which is generally useless) is not separately fused, unless you consider your pushbutton unit's circuit board to be a large fuse. And that's what it will become when...

Yes, one at a time

Yes, just loosen (do NOT remove) the nut on the pipe at the injector while running. Do this one line at a time. Fuel will escape, but diesel isn't very flammable so don't worry about fire.

Starting in first

You should be able to kick down to start in first. If that's not working, check the adjustment of the throttle linkage. The floor switch may also be suspect, but an incorrect length of even a couple...
