Have no fuel coming out of the line. I tried to bleed the line and nothing. I pulled the mechanical fuel pump apart and cleaned it. Still not pumping fuel to the injector. Any ideas

Fresh diesel fuel? How's about fuel filter? Need changed? Do you have a primer pump on system, if you do crack line loose at injector and operate primer pump until you get fuel & tighten line. If you don't have a primer pump on system, rig one up with one hose in diesel tank & second hose going to fuel pump supply line. It sounds like you need to change filter, fill new filter with diesel fuel before installing, & you have air in system, you might have to crack injector line loose several times to get all the air out of system. Let us know what you find please.

I would either overhaul fuel pump with kit or purchase new one, but first check for an obstruction in tank, pick up tube in tank, fuel lines, etc.

I put fresh diesel in it and I'm not getting fuel out of the injection pump at all. I pulled the fuel filter out to make sure that wasn't blocking the fuel to the injection pump. It doesn't have a manual pump just gravity fed to the injection pump. Once i get fuel coming out of the injection pump then i can address bleeding the air out of the line to the injector. I think I'll try pressurizing the tank to push fuel through to the injection pump and hopefully out to the line.
