So looks like the mechanical fuel pump is fine. So will hook that back up when the finalize the new racor installation. Boy an electric fuel pump sure makes bleeding a snap.

Now Pooped again...and sore. But happy that Purple my yanmar is happy again.

I put a bypass valve and line, at the injection pump inlet to the return line. This allows me to purge the air, prior to the injection pump. Never fails.
