[Mark Shepherd]

Just loosen one line at injector  cover it with a rag if you wish and crank
a few times. No fuel then could it be the solenoid power supply or
operation.

fly  wheel was placed in the wrong position, as this can happen very
easily. I took  out the No.1 injector and glow plug, placed a wire through
the swirl chamber to  the top of the piston to find TDC. When I  found TDC
it lined up with the fly wheel mark, so the mark is correct.
