Which one? Compression check uses a guage that is screwed in to each cylinder.

To do a purge, fill up an empty gatorade bottle w/diesel, and put the supply and return lines in the bottle, prime and try to start.

Also, how are the glowplugs? Did you do a valve adjustment?

The primer will not move fuel through the IP, so checking the metal lines for fuel is only good when cranking the engine.

When did the engine stop running? After a filter swap? If so, air is in the system.
