Won't start, think lift pump.

[daveylennon93]

YHello I have a problem with my hdi. Its been sat up about a year without being started now wont start.

I had the diesel tank and lift pump out of it( was treating a bit of rust). When i was at it I took lift pump apart and cleaned it and put back together. 

All is back together now and this is whats happening.

When i turn on the ignition the lift pump does come on but doesnt sound the best.
I disconnected the pipe from filter to hp pump and turned ignition on, it just gives a small spurt out of diesel out of filter and stops, then another small spurt and stops again. 

Im guessing that when lift pump is priming it should give constant flow from filter to hp pump for few seconds? 

I also cracked the pipe from hp pump to fuel rail to see if i was gettin diesel, on turning over no diesel comes out the hp pump.

Any help appreciated, think its lift pump just not sure. Thanks for reading??
