 Yesterday I changed the primary fuel filter on our C320 Yanmar 3GM30F. It was 
lean, but I replaced it and the seals. Following the Yanmar manual I opened 
hat I think are the correct bleed bolts and used the fuel lift pump to charge 
he system with fuel, but nothing came. The engine has only about 500 hours on 
t, tanks full and fuel shutoff open. I started the engine to see if that would 
ill the fuel line, but after running for about 3 minutes it slowly ran down and 
topped, presumably starved of fuel. I even tried tuning the engine when 
ecompressed to move the fuel lift pump on its cam, but nothing. Before I call 
n the cavalry, does anyone have an idea of what may be 
 wrong?
