try removing filter and fill with fuel. if no joy does the fuel pump have a hand priming pump? if yes loosen the bleed nipple on the fuel filter housing and pump till clear fuel spurts out of the nipple. still no joy try cracking off one of the injector union nuts while you get someone to crank the engine over. do this with all the injectors. your problem is that there is air in the fuel system.
