931A2 not starting after filter change

[Earth]

Changed the oil and all the filters. Truck started up after fuel filter changes. Ran for a minute or so and I shut it down. Finished service. Went to start it up and it cut out. Checked for leaks/proper filter seating. Okay there. It gets fuel at the IP on the line from the primer pump (at the banjo). sprays out when you pump. It doesn't get any at the injector nuts when you crack while cranking. It doesn't get any at the bleeder nut at the back of the injection pump either. Is she being stubborn or did I do something ? The solenoid is quite warm, but it is holding back like it should. Truck has always started even when cold.

I would just try to keep priming it tell you get some out the bleeder at the back of the pump.
Or you could of got some dirt up into the pump, hope not.

I had to prime mine a few times to get it to stay running after fuel filters.

Just be easy on the starter.

Always easy on the starter. I tried helping it along with some ether too. It fires and quits. Hope I'm using the correct bleeder: Its 11/16, definitely a bleeder screw, and is right at the rear of the IP?

The bleeder screw on an a2 motor will be on the passenger side of the pump, it's a lot smaller than 11/16.

Passenger side is up near the block. Is it the one right behind, on the back, behind the 6 injector nuts/lines? Has a center screw that would need an offset screw driver?

Here's a link with a picture, it takes a 10mm wrench.

Thanks so much. That did it. My bad for not looking it up to begin with. I do know better than to try and make it up. Its a 10mm bleeder screw and all it took was a little turn to let the air out and off she went!

Glad you got her going!

Good deal. Congrats.
