the hand pump only primes up to the injector pump. It should be screwed down in normal running, but it as best as I know does nothing for the engines normal running, it is just to get the air out for easier starting after working on fuel system. BTW when using the hand pump a air vent must be opened to let out air out of system, pump until see fuel spurting out . what did the guy do to get it to run? and if it just quit I would think it is still a fuel issue. have you checked the oil level in the injector pump?
I think at the lift pump the inlet hose has a filter screen inside the banjo bolt if not there look at the other fuel hoses. you might want to confirm fuel flow at each point at this time too.
it might help you to open up the front of the engine so you can look at the timing marks on the crank, cam and injector pump gears.
if you run the engine disable , remove the compression release as much as you can so nothing binds or falls into valve train and rockers. depending where you live it might not be necessary to you anyway.
maybe check out alibaba (that might be spelled wrong) they are the chinese ebay and see if maybe their selling and shipping policies are something you can deal with. just a thought.
If you have to is there a good welding shop that can if need be put it the housing back together, cast is tough to get it welded right.
