Yesterday, while mowing, the engine slowly died (according to my worker) and then would not restart. This morning, I checked it and the engine turns over but shows no sign of ignition of fuel. I checked the fuel line from tank and it is open and flowing fuel. A piece of debris about an inch long and diameter of a toothpick flowed out of the fuel sediment bowl inlet. I assumed that this may be causing an obstruction. I checked the fuel in sediment bowl and it was clean, with no debris, etc. in bowl. Reassembled and attempted to start. Now, on turning over, it tries to run for a second or two then dies. Next step?

Sounds like there is still air in the lines. Crack the injector lines, at the injectors not pump. Try to crank over, should have good fuel pulses. Will probably fire off, if so tighten lines and be done.
