If the person who repaired the pump ran it on a test bench it should prime up readily, but if he did not have a test bench it will take a whole lot of spinning that engine to get fuel through to injectors. I would take off the fittings at the injections nozzles and give it a good pull as this will save you a ton of cranking with the starter. Just be sure to have TA in direct drive (lever forward) and use high gear. I always remember the very first 560 we were trouble shooting back in about 1960 at service training, they had battery chargers hooked up and said, it will eventually start. What I got in the habit of doing when I repaired the pumps was hook them up to the tractor fuel supply with pump temporily mounted on side frame and put a hand operated speed wrench on them and cranked the heck out of them. Saved a lot of starter and battery. Also, I was able to be certain pump would deliver and shut off fuel. A runaway engine is always in the front of your thoughts when you have reassembled an injection pump. Never had it happen but came close once.
