Standasd Diesel, Ran Out of Fuel

I was using my TO-35 this morning and it ran out of fuel. Filled the tank and gave it a small shot of ether. It almost starts and then it just cranks. I read somewhere about pressurizing the system(?). Can someone explain this with detail, since sometimes I'm dumb as a stump. Or should I just wait for it to cool down?

Thanks,
Chuck

If its a diesel engine and it has been run out of fuel I am afraid it will not start without bleeding the air out of the system. There will probably be one or more bleed screws on the injector pump, they will need to be loosened then you will have to hand crank the lift pump if there is one until the all the air fizzes out ( there will be lots! ) then tighten them up, loosen one of the lines to one or more of the injectors then crank her over till all the air comes out there, she might even volunteer to start on 3 cylinders!I can't talk you through in detail it as I am not familiar with the Standard engine. Your best bet is to post your question on the Ferguson board. A good tip though, if you have run her out of fuel is to change the filters while your at it, as the last bit out the tank might have been a bit mucky! BTW don't be too over zealous with the ether.

Chuck is right. Look your system over and find where all the bleed points are. I have dual filters and there is a bleed on each one plus the injector pump. You start bleeding at the furtherest point from the pump and work your way to the pump.

Be careful with that starting fluid. People have blown holes in their pistons with that stuff. Spraying gasoline is better.
