Title: air in the fuel

Is there air in the line between the filter and injection pump?
 Rev it while looking at this section of fuel line and see if there is air bubbles in it.
 I'm thinking your fuel filter is clogged.
 A vacuum gauge on the fuel line will tell you when the filter is getting clogged.

What'd the 12mm head come on? I just put a 10mm head on vw pump, but still wondering if it's going to idle with the gtd nozzles.

I'm not really familiar with the camplates. What sort of differences are there? Sorry, I'm not trying to hijack your thread.
