Check your pipe for a restriction or a leak.
 
thanks done that as well as cleaned the needle. i now have fuel but... the engine won't turn over when the glow plug is in. it spins fine with out it and its not sticking at top dead centre.
 
A flooded engine can hydrolock. that might be your problem... When you remove the glowplug it releases the lock. However, the fuel surplus is in the crank area so you will have to spin it over for about 5 seconds with no plug to clear the fuel.

I kow my 3.3 needs a strong battery in the E-Z starter to spin over. once the fuel gets in the engine.
