TA-DAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Thanks Ernie et al.
Followed Ernie's instructions and ol Betsey started up this morning. I pulled all of the fuel lines loose and blew them out, changed filter and O ring, emptied the tank and blew it out and then refilled with clean diesel. When I re-connected the lines I did it from the tank to the primer, to the filter where I used the primer thingy to push fuel up to the filter prior to connecting the fuel hose. Once I had fuel there, I connected to the filter..pushed the 1st bleeder button while priming, on down to the second bleeder button and in to the injectors. After I was sure I had no air at that point I loosened each injector nut, one by one, till I could see fuel coming out as I cranked the motor. I could tell by the time I had the air out of the second one that it was going to start. Anyone need about 4 gallons of dirty diesel fuel?
I didn't want those west coast guys to get too big headed so I appreciate the other comments. Now for that 44 mile round trip.
