Install a tee fitting and pressure gauge as close to the head as you can get. The gauge should tell you what the fuel pressure is when running and as you are starting to crank. You could have a faulty check valve or a cracked fuel hose that is allowing air in the intake hose. Check the tightness of all fuel line fittings.
