This may sound lame but my new mechanic says the pipes have to be cracked off at the injectors but the guy that used to do it cracked them off at the pump then the injectors now I wonder if that what why the old pump would not work?

Any idea why I can get fuel to 2 injectors and not the other 2?

Nope. But keep trying...
Are you sucking it through the pump bypass BTW ?

Tip. Use biodiesel for bleeding if you're sucking it through :ok

If you're not then try at the pump head connections for those two first then?

Mr S. Baxter's pretty good at diesel diagnosis, if he happens along
