when pressure is achieved at the rail it allows fuel into the engine whilst cranking, excess will return to the tank, yes the little return pipe comes off catch it in a jar crank very briefly,, then reconnect and check for spark with a plug on a lead near engine,
once the fuel vapours have cleared, has it ever run ?
