Ran low of fuel, now OC4 Diesel runs rough

[Ed Miller]

The other day I was digging a hole with my OC4 diesel with the backhoe attachment and it started to miss like it was running out of fuel.  I quickly shut it down before it stalled but I think I caused a problem.   I put fuel in, it was empty, but now it runs unevenly, speed changes and sounds like it is missing.   I primed it before I started it.   Do I have to bleed some air out of the system?   Before this happened it always ran very smoothly.

Thanks

I guess this question was to simplistic for anyone to answer so I figured it out myself

After searching other posts I discovered the solution was to loosen the high pressure line (big one ) at each injector (on top of engine) and turn the motor over with the throttle 1/3 open until the air was out.   I tightened each one, one at a time while the engine was turning to make sure no air got in when I stopped cranking.  The engine started as I tightened each one so I would have to stop the engine between each injector.   The machine runs smoothly again!!!

Hope this helps some other newbees like me.
