Once or twice about eight years ago running around the farm, but I re-prime after washing out the sedimentor too :pQuote:

It's my understanding that if the lift pump is on the cam lobe the the lever will just flop back and forth and not pump anything, you need turn the motor over so the pump is off the cam lobe.
Can anyone confirm this?

Ran mine out of fuel twice, took approx 5 sec on the started to fire up.
Just start it after filter/sedimenter clean and change, never been a problem.

I ran out of fuel earlier in the year heading to Broken Hill, it ran out of fuel about 5 seconds after I said "I think the fuel guage has stopped working?". Luckily I had a jerry of fuel. Turned over almost immediately.
Serge,L322's have a gauge,a warning light,a warning chime,a warning message on the digital display and start turning injectors off to cause a miss to let you know it's running out of fuel.My sister inlaw still ran it dry. PatQuote:

correct you will get something BUT... if you are pushing the lever far enough to make it pump while the cam driven lever is sitting on the lobe you run the risk of overstretching and busting the diaphragm.Quote:

fill the tank (this assumes that its not a blocked pickup)
crack open the bleed nut on the top of the filter head in the engine bay
pump till fuel comes out of the bleeder and tighten it up (this should take ~55-60 pumps)
turn on the ignition
crack the line to the IP from the fuel filter (this is to confirm that the filter is not blocked OR you havent left the plastic insert on the filter, yes, Ive seen it happen)
pump the primer till fuel comes out (should only take about 3 pumps)
tighten up the line from the IP
pump 10 more times
Disconnect the fuel solenoid (your about to be cruel to the engine)
crank it on the starter till the oil pressure light goes out
reconnect the fuel solenoid
hold the accellerator flat
crank it till it starts
you can disregard the bits in blue in most circumstances I do this as part of a full service because as part of a full fuel system service I remove and blow out all of the lines
ok guys, it will be hard, but ill try and run out of fuel some time soon....
Do the Tanami on one tank and a couple of Jerries that should do it.Quote:
