OK, I have been reading the latest posts in this thread; I have 2 suggestions to use engine cranking to prime the lines--and I will try this (have to get back to where the car is located). But remember, this engine was running off the purge tank for about 5 minutes and then died from fuel starvation. At the start of the drive, I was seeing return fuel in the purge tank; at the end I did not. So if the engine couldn't keep itself primed do I really believe that the engine can prime itself? Just asking.
