Hello blueboy
If you got air in the return line and you are positive it is not from the intake side of the pump, it has to be from pump seals sucking in air. Parked for many moons will dry them up. Snapping the throttle to idle makes the engine die means the buffer screw or the idle is not properly set. Loose fuel lines may be another reason for air, only the return lines though. Check the oil for dilution or diesel smell. You can plug the return line and see if you get power, it will do no harm. You can set the idle at a higher setting. The buffer screw should be adjusted with care. Idle RPM's shoukd not be raised more then 20. Be carefull doing that adjustment, it will take off for the moon if not done right.
Follow the manual exactly. It would be a good thing if you could get some help from a DD mechanic. A tune up would not be a bad idea. Then you would be able
to do it on your own if you need to in the future. I still think you nay have just a fuel pump that has dry seals,
