Cold Start on Kubota BX2670 That Ran out of Fuel

Ran out of fuel and engine shut down earlier today. Concerned that the fuel lines would need to be bled but after refilling the tank with diesel I turned the key in and off allowing the pump to run (similar to the procedure on my Cummins) and the engine started on the third try. Temperature was 8 degrees so part of the rough start was certainly due to the temp.
