I guess we could have a pity party, mine won't start either! I found that you have to open that bleeder screw quite a ways to get a large volume of diesel squirting out, just a turn will not allow much flow. My new pump puts out LOTS of fuel when hand priming if the screw is open a ways.

I'd say go somewhere other than NAPA. I got mine from O'Reilley's- it was an AirTex, not sure where it was made, but it seems to work for now. At least til I get my injector pump hot-rodded.
