I usually crack 3 or 4 injector lines at the head, crank the engine for a minute, then check at the loose lines for a trickle of fuel with no foam. Then tighten the lines, and it usually starts.

I do the same, but I stop cranking when it almost wants to start firing, then I re-tighten the line nuts and crank it up...runs rough for a few seconds until it gets the air out...
