Because it stalled during the Diesel purge we can assume the in tank screen is O.K., this means either there's an air leak (especially likely if you have the white handle primer pump) or the secondary, spin on fuel filter is clogged or the transfer pump that holds the hand primer pump is failing .

Let us know what you find in the end .
