My kubota diesel model "v 1702" will not start, it sat for a year so i changed the fuel and filter and flushed the lines, the pump is pushing fuel to the injectors but no fire and not under any great pressure, it cranks fine, i dont know if the pump is broke or not building pressure or the injectors are bad, any help is welcome

Does it smoke when cranking? If it does then your glow plugs are not working.
If there is not smoke then you still have air in the lines. Lossen the lines at each injector one at a time and crank till you get pure diesel at each injector.
Tighten all the lines and away you go.
