Priming Perkins 3cyl diesel

Working on another problem child. I have a zero turn with a 28hp “Cat” 3 cyl. It’s actually a Perkins. I am having trouble finding anything on it online. It began to surge. I suspected fuel filters so I replaced the cartridge filter and cleaned the pre-filter/screen. It was filthy and I thought Ah Hah! Had to be it. Now I can’t get the little bugger primed. I have fuel stream at the lift pump and cartridge filter housing is full. I can’t get anything at the injectors. Maybe a spit of fuel every now and then. I can’t find a bleed fitting in the high pressure pump. Suggestions or directions? Still working on it and headed back toward fuel lines and tanks

Size of threads for the injector in this Perkins? Trying to check compression.

Sent my pump and injectors to TPG. They arrived at his place Wednesday of this week and just arrived back to me about an hour ago. Installed and running like a top. I highly recommend Mike….The Pump Guy.

When I get some money up I'll be sending mine to him as well. I'm running one (I think) set for 700 cc instead of 1000
