Komatsu 4d95s engine running trouble

Hello everyone first of all I'm new to the forum. I'm a forklift dealer in th UK.

I have a FD 25 with an 4D95s motor. It's recently had reconditioned injectors, new rings and honed bores. With the new head gasket fitted, skimmed head and valves adjusted I started it up to find it ran poorly and struggled to rev up. I cracked the injectors and found that cracking no.1 made no difference to the engines running which suggested the problem being on that cylinder. When number 2, e and 4 were cracked the engine cut out. I compression tested 1 and 2 which had pretty much the same reading. I swapped 1 and 2 injectors around and the same problem.

Any suggestions? Also the fuel stop solenoid doesn't work and is stopped manually by cable.

Thank you.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
