Have you removed the plunger and spring from the stop solenoid yet to rule that out ? Just because it started once doesn't mean its not a sticky solenoid.
As Paul says it would be worth checking you got the banjo bolts the right way round when you reassembled. This could be the reason why the primer won't pump up hard.
The return line allows extra fuel to return the tank, it also allows the pump to be bled it would be nearly impossible to bleed the pump without it. You shouldn't run the car with it blocked it will cause you major issues. However by blocking it and pumping the primer you have proved that the low pressure side of the pump isn't leaking.
Also try letting the glow plugs get extra hot encase there's an issue with them , ignition on and off 3 times before you start it.
