fuel injected

fuel priming issue ,
Difficult cold starting , once started , can shut and start over & over
sit 1/2 hr , difficult starting again ,
Ball gets hard then soft

What I did find out , one of 3 low pressure pumps leaks from back ,
TESTING LOW PRESSURE PUMPS
Loosen one at a time , when pump is slightly away from block , pump ball ,
if fuel comes out you have a weak pump ? ( is that correct way too test )
Other two pumps no fuel coming out , could be original , if it does not leak they are good ?

change all three ?
change just the one weak ?
Don't like too throw parts

Hoping it will correct loosing prime
