Default Can't prime Yanmar 2GM20

Hi

I did a service on my Yanmar diesel on the weekend (including fuel
filter) and now can't seem to prime it. I've followed the
instructions in the Yanmar manual and although I can get fuel flowing
through the fuel filter bleed valve via the manual fuel pump lever, I
can't seem to get it to 'bleed' beyond the fuel injection pump. I
repeatedly pump via the manual handle but nothing seems to come
through.

I tried turning the engine over as I thought it might be an issue with
the 'position' of the fuel injection pump but this did not seem to
make a difference.

Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance.

Greg
