Thanks for the reply. I took apart that glass bowl and cleaned it, it actually wasn't that dirty. Did shine a light into tank but couldn't see as far as the outlet, since the fill cap is on the opposite end of the tank. I'm really trying to get this fixed quickly!! I need to check anywhere else there is a screen or filter.
When I was bleeding the system I took out the two bleed screws on the pump and when I cranked the engine fuel was spurting out quite far, so hopefully this means the pump is functioning.
Also, I pumped on the priming lever, and it did seem to push the fuel through the system, what's not clear from that that diagram is where any micro screen filters might be?
The one pictured at the top is the fuel cutoff and screws into the tank. The microscreen stands above it on the inside the tank. The second is in the sediment bowl. Also you have inline fuel filters that might need attention if they haven't been changed in awhile. An air leak some where in the fuel delivery will cause a prime loss. Bad diaphram will do the same thing. The Perkins engine is very sensitive to contamination. Are you working from a service manual?
