94 7.3 not starting

replaced fuel lines at fuel pump down to main steel lines because of rubed hole due to safety clamp on fuel line. Can't get started. Cranks great with new starter and batteries charged and fresh oil change and new fuel filter. Any Help?

Check your fuel bowl. Make sure there is fuel in there first. Fill it up, then crank.. if not you will burn your starter out trying to get it up and going. Make sure your fuel lines werent switched with the return lines. By filling the bowl you prime the engine. There is enough fuel in the bowl to keep the engine running until the fuel pump catches up!

Thanks For The Tech Reply On My No Start Condition. I Have Filled The Fuel Res Bowl And Have Good Pressure At Shrader Valve.
