Russ,

I am a long way from being a diesel mechanic, but I have air locked my generator when I changed the fuel filters. I was told to "crack" the last injector from the fuel filter while cranking the generator. As diesel fuel starts to spue out I tightened down the injector with a crescent wrench.

I would assume that the same thing would have to be done on the series 60. I would think that instead of cranking the engine you could just pump the priming pump until diesel spued out of the last injector that was "cracked".

I know that all air has to be removed from the system.

Running a diesel engine out of fuel and air locking it is a big deal! Don't ever let your fuel gauge get too low. It's a real mess!

Hope this helps!
