I went ahead and blew all the lines out, as a precautionary measure, but it still would not fire up. Dejected, I abandoned the effort and left everything alone for the night, figuring I'd pull the tank later - 2 of the injectors were loose. Next morning, I turned it over and it spit black smoke, then I remembered that I left 2 injectors loose. Tightened them up, fired it up and it coughed & spit then ran smooth!!! I guess the bit about self bleeding is true, though I don't know the mechanics behind it.

Anyway, she runs now - thank you all for your wise counsel and advice.
