Couple things here --

First, you must remove the little steel insert under the spring, too. don't lose it!

Second, verify that you have the IP full of fuel. There is a bleed screw next to the oil filler cap (the red thing that has 'Oel" on it). crack this while pumping the hand pump until all the air comes out, then tighten back down. It can take a while to get all the air out of the pump and get up to injector opening pressure.

finally, are you sure the coupling is installed? It's a hollow tube with internal splines that connects the IP and the auxillary shaft, and without it the IP isn't turning.
