Puppet users - Feb 2014 - Register gce instance with puppet agent to puppet master

Is it possible to start up a google compute engine (gce) instance with a 
static IP address but without a FQDN and get it to register with a puppet 
master?

I've installed puppet (agent) from puppetlabs repo and the service is 
ensured and running using the command  puppet resource service puppet 
ensure=running enable=true
I also edited /etc/puppet/puppet.conf to include my puppetmaster FQDN and 
can ping it from the agent
I've added a firewall rule to allow tcp:8140 into the agent as well

Running 

puppet agent --server myserver.example.com --waitforcert 60 --test 
returns 

Error: Could not request certificate: Connection timed out - connect(2)

I have a few other agents that aren't running on GCE but are connected to my
puppetmaster.

I'd like to be able to register gce instances but just can't figure out
what I'm missing.
Can anyone help me out?
