I'm hopefully just about getting my 2.25 Diesel series 3 completed after a rebuild starting from a million boxes of bits.
I have a 5 bearing 2.25 which I've completely rebuilt as new, but just chucked the old pump/distributor on as was.
I bled fuel through to the two distributor bleed points by hand pumping, but with the injector pipes off I can't get any fuel out of the pump outlets.
Turning the engine on the starter brings no fuel out of the outlet ports either?
All other return spill pipes etc are connected up and I'm pretty sure everything is the right way round from the manual and looking at pictures on the net.
Should I be able to prime fuel through and if so have I got a problem with my injector pump?
