Hi fellow Landy lovers.
My 1972 series 3 had fuel dripping from the lift pump so i decided to change the pump.
Now it starts and runs for a few seconds and dies.
when hand crank the lift pump i can hear gurgling and bubbling.
I put an extra gallon of diesel in and loosened the bleed screw on the filter and pumped. it hisses, but no fuel comes out.
So i tried the bleed screw on the injector. when i pump nothing comes out here either?
also tried loosening the jets and turning over for a while. still not getting fuel coming through?
There must be some fuel in there cos it will start for a few seconds then die. start and then die etc..
I get the feeling that i have probably ended up putting more air in than ever.
I still get the gurgling when i hand pump and after it starts and dies.
any idea what i might have done wrong here?
many thanks.
