Priming 3208T?

[Richard Gideon]

Alan: You need to place a jumper on the oil pressure switch (near
oil filters) and then turn on ignition switch...the facet pump near
top front of the fuel tank should run and you can check by listening
at rear of coach to hear the clicking sound.

If your Facet lift pump is operating you should see positive pressure
on the Racor guage by drivers right knee. You will need to open the
T-handle on the right front of the injection pump to purge air from
the system.

How did you get air into the system...changing Racor?

I'm inside by coach typing this...call Cell 573.465.0527 if I can
help.
