I replaced the fuel lines on the front of the engine - can not get fuel system primed - used vacuum to pull fuel up to pump - no luck - anyone know any tricks to getting fuel system Primed??? Thanks for your help.

Anytime I run into that on one of the oldys with the cam driven lift pump, I remove the fuel pressure test plug in the head, left or right. Spin er over and it's just like bleeding a brake caliper, spits and sputters air and fuel and away she goes.

 

(on edit) The statement above actually applies to Gen II units. If someone runs them low enough on fuel the heads can get air bound. I can't recal ever having a problem with Gen I units.
