Kevin, You can run the pump with the return capped.
Maybe you are 180 degrees off on the timing? Does it run at all?
Thanks! I was really starting to sweat the return line thing.
the only way I think I'm 180 off is if they didn't return it on compression stroke...The timing mark was on 0 and the #1 piston was at the top as I could see it through the spark plug hole. I can try to double ck 2nite, how am I sure it is the compression stroke?...and no it doesn't run at all
