Hi chaps,
              Am having a problem pursuading fuel to come through the
pipework so I can start my 205D which has lain neglected for a few months.
It was drained of diesel, so the first thing I did was put a gallon of
diesel in the tank using a gallon fuel container. Charged up the battery
and the low fuel light flickered, then went off when I went into preheat
mode. Enough fuel I thought. I left the ignition on to keep the solenoid
energised, and started squidging the primer bulb. It will not firm up,
which means it's not drawing fuel up, but when I opened the water drain on
the filter, diesel pours out. Tried to fire it up, but it will not catch.
It gives a cough or two with a puff of smoke out the exhaust, but that's
it.
Is there a more robust priming I can do to get the bugger to fire and keep
firing?
