Thanks for all the suggestions, and David I owe you a beer!
I took the petrol tank off my mower, refilled with fresh diesel and rigged up a gravity feed to the pump. After about a minute of cranking I was getting regular spurts out of the injector pipes, and once connected it fired up and ran perfectly. I reconnected the pipe to the fuel filter (instead of the mower tank) and it drew fuel up straight away.
I do wonder if there is an air leak somewhere though, as it seemed unable to draw fuel through until primed.
