Fawteen - I'm not familiar with Perkins diesels specifically. However it sounds like you've got air in the high pressure lines between the pump and injectors. If you are lucky enough to have injectors with bleed fittings on them, loosen each bleeder one at a time, then crank the engine with the governor wide open and the stop lever in "run" until fuel runs solid. If the injectors do not have bleeders, loosen the fuel line nut at each injector, then crank the engine as above to let the air escape. When the air is out of each line and the bleeder or fuel line nut is retightened, that cylinder should begin firing (or at least give white smoke out the exhaust) when you crank. Be careful! While bleeding, wrap a shop rag around the injector to catch the fuel and KEEP HANDS AWAY! Fuel can escape with enough force to puncture the skin and cause blood poisoning.
