for clarity you put the transfer case in neutral and the transmission in like 4th gear which is 1-1 ratio then use a bar to turn the engine with the jackshaft
Ok it's critical that the tip in the end of the rod is engaged to the sliding collar in the pump. If it is correct you should be able to rotate it towards the firewall and let go and it should return to the 7 0'clock position. The fuel shutoff cable only pulls the lever. It has to return to the...
There is a procedure usually used for starting up an engine that has been sitting for some time. Usually change all the fuel filters and put some fresh fuel in the system. Check to make sure the in tank pump is working and bleed the fuel system up to the hydraulic head. Remove the shutoff cover...

I would replace all the filters as Gimp suggested. I also would check the make sure the fuel shutoff is in the 7 o'clock position if not hard starting can result. The in tank pump should give you good flow at the secondary filter bleed port. If all that is good it should start...
