There are 3 different versions of the HDCA - the full model number would be nice.

But as a general rule, if simply holding the PRIME button for 1 minute does not get it going, get underneath the set and remove the fuel return line from the nipple on the set.
Attach a length of hose to the nipple, and drop the hose in an empty container, like a soda bottle.
Press and hold PRIME, and make sure fuel is flowing.
If fuel is coming out the return line, the system has fuel in it.

Next, run the preheat 3 or 4 times before cranking the engine, and see if that helps.

If none of that works, the next step would be to crack open an injector line, and crank the set until fuel flows out.

Then the set should start.
