Your IP needs to prime the system.

To do so you must crank the starter for 30-40 seconds. If a repeat is needed it is recommended to wait a few minutes so as not to overheat the starter motor.

It may take to or three tries.

When you think it has caught, keep cranking a few seconds longer to be absolutley certain. Not being certain results in 2nd and 3rd attempts and eventually the battery wears down.

Will usually run rough for a second or two and then even out as the IP gets rid of the remaining air in the system.

Should be fine after that.
