lt35e injection pump

[Phil.UK]

Takes an age to start, fuel is draining back to the tank. fuel filter ,one way valve,fuel cut off and butterfly o ring have been changed, any ideas? please.

It might be your drive shaft seal.
Put a clear fuel line on the output of your pump. If it never turns to clear fuel, it it is always foamy, the shaft seal is allowing air to be pulled into the pump.
Feel for fuel behind the injection pump timing gear.
Leaks in the little lines between the injectors can let air in too.

Starts First turn

It was the little lines between the injectors?

No it was the drive shaft seal.
