I changed the fuel filter today and forgot to turn the fuel back on. Tractor started back up ok after changing but due to fuel being off it quit running. I then went back to filter, unscrewed bowl and let it run out everywhere to fill bowl/filter allowing it to run while tightening, pulled line from tank to pump at pump to flush all air out and started cranking with one line loosened at the injector, (where line goes into side of motor). I have been cranking for 30 min loosening one and then going to the other. The front line is starting to drip but not even a drip from the rear line. I have repeated all these steps several times and it still won't prime. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something that I need to be doing to a Yanmar that is not common on other diesel engines. I have primed Cummings engines, Cats, Detroits, 4 cyl diesel pickups and refrigeration units before but this one won't seem to get started.
I need help!
