Sounds like you have air in your
diesel fuel lines. Need to bleed the engine. Instructions are at www.marinedieseldirect.com. If you have the M25 engine (like mine, and I just changed the filter the other day) if you fill the filter up with clean diesel, then run just the ignition switch to turn on your electric fuel pump, all you need to do is to open the knurled knob on the injector pump for a while until the air gets pumped out through the return fuel line to the tank. If you've also replaced the secondary filter ON the engine, you'll need to open the bolt on the top of the filter housing and get the air out of there, too, the knurled knob-only-trick will most likely not work.

found out what it was
It was not air but it was the pick line in the tank the screen was clogged with some kind of mung. Thank for your help. Suds

Aha! Suds, I forgot about that one!
Yup, everyone should check. Catalina finally stopped putting those little screens in about 1991.
