So, I got my son to turn the key and I sprayed, and after 4 such attempts, it roared to life... well, sort of chugged, and I did as you said and kept it racing till it caught on by itself, and I was still worried because it was running very rough, but I figured that not every cylinder had been bled yet, and after running a few minutes, it smoothed out and now runs like a champ!! I couldn't be a happier camper. Such a relief. Now it jumps to life at the slightest contact of the key...runs so much better. The old cam belt seemed to be ever so slightly loose, which would make a difference in performance, I imagine.
I'll try to update my build thread with pics. Thanks, mate!
He did mention SERVICE ITEMS AND UPGRADES so possibly a fuel filter change in there somewhere but why worry he's got it running minttwin wheel camper wrote:hetman wrote:Chuggy, thank you profusely!!

I don’t get why you had air in the diesel pump or lines doing the work you described?
Great you’ve it going again but changing the radiator and doing the cam belt shouldn’t of disturbed the diesel lines?
