  You can pull the stop solenoid and fill as much as you can there.  
Yeah, durn near impossible to fill the pump through the banjo on a 
TD pump.  You could use some type of syringe, small dribble hose 
or such though.  
  I NEVER crack the injector fittings to start these engines.  Never 
have to and it maybe saves a few seconds of cranking.  Filil, bleed 
the pump and lines as much as possible, either with suction or 
pressure to the tank and a second person.  Then charge the battery 
and crank for 10 to 15 second intervals at full throttle.  Full throttle 
isn't needed to help bleed or start sooner but it helps get it limping 
to a start once it starts firing.  When it DOES start to fire, stop 
cranking, let it glow again then crank.  If it keeps barking but not 
quite starting, keep the starter going to carry on the momentum.  
Once it starts keep it at full throttle until rpm reaches about 1500 
or so then start backing down to keep it at a fast idle.  It'll smooth 
out and run.
