Shibaura twin. Just cut out month ago. Fuel getting to injectors.(injectors and pump o'hauled 2 mth ago. Got her going again and replaced leaky hose to injector pump and no go since. Injectors into shop on Sat and they said crud in them. But filter (delphi) clean as. Know more on Mon. Anybody any suggestions?
 
Prob teaching you to suck eggs, but:

Airlock somewhere after leaky hose replacement?
Fuel cut-off ... has it been nudged into the ‘off’ position? Has the control cable slipped off the injection pump during the hose replacement?
Air - is there enough getting through?
Compression - might be worth doing a test - have the injector washers worn to the point that they are releasing pressure?

Apart from those basics, I’ve not a clue!

Good luck.

Isnt that the VP base engine for the MD2010? If so the lift pump on them can be a pain to use to bleed the system. Get a squeezy bulb as used in outboards and plumb it in to the system to use to bleed it. I suspect the injectors are a red herring, do you trust your injector shop?

PS, I hope you havent been cranking and cranking with the seawater feed open. It can fill the engine with sea water!
