    Oh I honestly didn’t know that’s how you connected them. What’s this owners thread you speak of? I’m a newbie here!

    Did you use hard line on the banjo fittings? How did you attach them?

    He has the correct tools and line to replace the hard lines and connect them properly to the banjo fittings. But that’s about it. I don’t think it’s a line to be honest

    That’s what I’m thinking as well. May have a diesel mechanic coming in 2 weeks if the primer pump doesn’t fix it

    Already tried that. No luck. And ether isn’t the best thing for a high compression engine anyways. But I did use it to diagnose that it’s a fuel issue lol. With ether it will start right up and immediately die.
