I got it started last night! I found a thread in the forums by a member that was having very similar problems and said that the fluid they use to clean the injectors can get stuck in the injector. So all I ended up doing was cranking cycles and sure enough I finally started hearing it start to wanna come alive. Finally few more cranks and walla alive and running perfect. Unbelievable pulling my hair out looking for problem that didn't exist.

I bet it was air in the fuel system as it finally got purged out. I have cleaned and flowed tested 1000's of injectors for over 5 years now and never had that problem after cleaning and then flow testing them as for 8 injectors getting stuck or even one injector getting stuck after the process. Just saying.

25% of those services I have personally reinstalled those injectors for all kinds of different marine apps and still never had that problem but I always properly prime the fuel system before start up so IMO that was your problem. I will add if Marren totally 100% purges their finally testing fluid from the injectors I could seeing that happening Maybe but all 8 injectors totally stuck that's almost impossible.
