Thanks for all advice, bled fuel line at injector pump, then at injectors. Started up and is now running.

Release the compression levers, and turn the engine a little by hand.

On my old boat’s 3GM the lift pump on the side of the engine was challenging. There was a screw on top to loosen and a small lever oriented vertically that manually pumped it. The hard part was that you had to really pull hard on the lever to actually pump fuel and eventually, pumping would get fuel out of the loose screw. The first few times I did it, I moved it up and down and nothing happened until I gave it more force on the upswing. Once you have fuel there, you can bleed at the injectors. That should be as simple as pulling the release levers and cranking the engine. I rarely had to actually loosen the injectors themselves.

We have fuel to the last chance fuel filter, but I can't find the bleed screw on the injector pump. Have tried to bleed the injector lines at the injectors to no avail. Anybody familiar with this we would love to hear.Thanks in advance.
