HELP - 8V92 will not start
"Another way to build prime"...This might be useful. http://tinyurl.com/4nbxx6 . Go to section "K", "priming the fuel system."

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I replaced both filters.

The Racor was low about 1.5 inches.

The Secondary was low about .5 inch.

I refilled both to top and cranked 10 seconds.

This time it did not start or fire at all.

After three tries, I opened both filters again and the

Racor was full. The secondary was down maybe .25 inch.

Refilled and cranked three more times, no fire.

Looked at secondary and it appeared full.



My questions now are, is there another way to build the prime?

Could it be a fuel pump problem? If so how do you test the pump?
