If it was not turning it most likely already turned up, It will take a little pressure to turn it but If you force it you will bust it and ruin the pump.

You may have turned it too far the wrong direction...to the front up..to the rear is down,Or your lift pump died.

I turned it clockwise. I pulled the Allen wrench from the back to the front. Is this right?

n/a doesn't need too much more fuel, i'd put it back where you found it and see if it runs again.

No i was going to install it. But Im aware what they are and i wasn't lugging it or driving it hard at all. And what's wierd is she died while at an idle like it sucked air but my valve on the filter head doesn't shoot any bubbles
