Not sure but i think all gauges are controlled from 1 main power feed (spider harnass). It could be un plugged . Check grounds , just as Gimb instructed you to you need a VOM to check voltage and grounds. Good luck,Dave
Any large tractor or heavy equipment dealer should be able to rebuild the pump.Diesel Injection service in Cinti., has parts I have purchased . Dave is the repair tech., that you would need to seak to . He has been very helpful.
A small drop of fuel at the injector still means a bad HH .(aprox. 2500 psi to open the injector from its seat) fuel should spray out . Be sure to check the fuel shut off has not broken or slipped must be fully open.Be very careful when working on the outlet of HH when it is operating correctly...
