BTW, my 617 primer pump sends the air back to the tank via the fuel return line, so cracking lines is not necessary.

I assume the clear lines to be the three lines between the lift pump and the Engine..the two directly to the IP and the one from the lift to the filter.
When new those are clear..when old they are brown. On the OM617 anyway...
