Pabs, you might have air in the system, do you have some one pushing in the shrader valve while you crank it over? A word of caution....do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time [3 minute cool down time] or it will damage your starter.

Sounds like a plugged filter to me.
Plenty of fuel going in, none coming out.

The amount of fuel that comes out the injector lines is not that much when you are just cranking the engine over.

Did you unplug the fuel shut off solenoid while changing the valve spring?

What's the condition of your batteries? If the cranking speed isn't good that might be it.

If you took the supply line to the filter off and had lots of fuel, then reinstalled it and had none at the schrader valve, either your filter is not letting fuel through or you have something in the filter inlet elbow that is blocking the fuel.

Just because something is new, does not make it good.
I have taken new parts out of a box that wherein far worse shape than the part it was going to replace on many occasions.

After thinking for a couple minutes, are you getting fuel out of the filter outlet to the IP?

There could be something blocking the schrader valve inside the filter housing.

Is the fuel filter full of fuel when you checked it?
