If you are not getting fuel out of the injector lines at injector then must be a clog... I just used a 12 volt 3-5 psi pump. (obviously i used a battery on its own) It will push fuel through the system and make any holes very apparent. Did you bleed the injector pump vent on back of pump?

So you have fuel at the pump but not at injectors... see what happens when you get the pump .
I didn't know there is a place to bleed the pump. Which fitting is it?

Wow! Ran a line from the inline filter (before the lift pump) to a 5 gallon can and cracked the bleeder on the IP and almost instantly had fuel bleeding out of the injector lines. Tightened everything up and it fired up and ran! Haven't checked lines from the tank yet but they must be the problem. I knew it was going to be something simple like that. Thanks for the help! Merry christmas!
