Hey guys, we're doing a 1HD-FTE install on an 80-series for one of our customers and struggling with the startup. We can't seem to get fuel into the cylinders and from everything I'm seeing online it seems to be a pump bleed and/or priming issue. The engine is bone stock pulled from an imported 100-series including the fuel filter assembly, we're gravity feeding it from a jug a couple feet above the engine. Pushing the prime plunger works as it seems to stiffen up after 20 or so pushes but the engine cranks and won't fire. When we crack the hard lines going to the injector we get a couple little dribbles of fuel out but nothing significant.
I looked in the factory service manual for any sort of bleed or prime procedure but can't find anything. There are some videos and random bits on the internet showing a few ideas but nothing that seems to be concrete evidence of how to do this. If anyone has suggestions it would be much appreciated...
