I filled mine up as much as possible through the hole for the bolt for the top return line pipe, then cracked off the injector pipes, cranked until fuel started to come through, back on and she fired up!

I dunno what your fuel pump is like but you can manually prime mine - I found this out from a breakdown recovery chap who sorted it out for me when I ran out of fuel not long after I bought my Surf.

There is a kinda "rubber button" thing on top of (what I assume is) the fuel filter which pumps fuel through. If it feels soft and squishy there is a lack of fuel/pressure but as it stiffens up you can feel the fuel pumping through.

At least, I think that's right!
