Bill,
I think you need to pull the connection to the injector pump and do a
flow test at that point. Run the fuel flow into a metal pail and see if
you are getting enough flow at that point from the fuel pump. If not,
work backwards towards the tank until you find the constriction. I
would say you should be able to get at least a quart per minute at the
injector pump.
