Thanks Manfred, He used an engine starter button to turn the engine over and we did not see the welling up, only spurting. I will pass along this information to him and we sill start again on Monday. My lack of knowledge as well as his is become glaringly apparent. I will be talking to the owner on Monday about this. Is there a manual or specific instructions about how to time the pump that I need to purchase and or read and take to the mechanic. Thanks for everyone's patience in helping me with this.
