simple diesel engine question

A friend bought a boat that had a diesel set in the boat, but not
hooked up. The motor was very stiff so I pulled the injectors, put in
penetrating oil, turned her by hand the next day, then on the starter
and she loosened up alot; but little fuel came out of the
inj pump. I tried again with the two levers on the side of the inj pump
in various positions but still only a very minimal amount of fuel. Am I
missing something?

Further I guess I should have some concern about cylinder surfaces. I
plan to run her abit, and if she doesn't overheat, do a leakdown test.
Any comments?

Wblakesx,
I am a bit puzzled.
If you are looking at the high pressure fuel lines that go to the actual
injectors, how much fuel did you expect?
The amount of fuel injected per cycle is measured in MICRO(10e-6)liters
or cubic millimeters and it is a small number.
