You may have a bad primer pump. Even if it is good, the white handle pumps spills a LOT of fuel. Try this: With the primer pump handle screwed down, crack open the fuel pressure relief valve (17 mm), then crank to bleed the air out till fuel comes out, tighen fuel pressure relief valve, then crack open an injector nut on one of the injectors 1/4 turn, crank till engine starts, then tighten cracked injector nut.
It sounds like you are responding to one of my earlier posts about an apparently non-functional primer pump. Thank you, but I have tried the "crank to prime the lines" experiment with no success.
