Default 04 topgun. Fresh engines won’t prime

Just put two fresh 525s back in my topgun. For some reason they aren’t getting fuel. I’m sure it’s something stupid, but any input would be greatly appreciated.

boat has half tank of fuel
brand new fuel pumps
brand new everything actually lol

Turn the key on and off about 10-12 times until your feel pressure doesn’t drop on the gauge. I’m guessing you just have some air in the line.

technically no. Starboard electric field pump isn’t coming on. It’s brand new but must be faulty. HS power to it

port engine pump comes on


ball valves are definitely open on fuel lines

Can’t remember on the 525, is there a schrader valve on the rail? you can push down when you prime the pump? That would let you know that fuel is at the rail.

Thank you for your responses. Ended up needing new injectors. Good to go
