Bleed the injectors, make sure you have the fuel stop in the proper position.

Just crack off the fittings at the injectors and crank it till you see fuel at the fittings. Retighten and try it again.

If you are getting fuel to the injectors and the valves are operating then I would suggest crankiing speed is deficient. Charge the battery and try again. Also check that the glows are doing their thing properly, though an engine in goood nick should fire without them with a bit of cranking.

You did readust the valves properly, right?

If you're getting puffs out the exhaust then you are getting fuel in the right places. Sounds to me like crankking speed and/or glow plugs not working.

Charge the battery and/or jump it off something with a BIG battery and then see what happens.

When my old 19j wouldn't start after replacing the injectors my local garage suggested a squirt of cold start just to purge any air blocks. Worked for me
