4 cylinder 172 diesel injection pump issues

Hi I’ve been working on a 4cylinder 172 diesel and the injection pump has been giving me issues. I took it to a shop had it rebuilt the pump didn’t work I verified this by putting a known good pump on just changing the pump and nothing else it runs fine. Brought it back to the shop they said everything checked out. I was wondering is there something simple that they could have overlooked I’ve never had one apart is there something different about them because they run vertical and not horizontal I know there could probably be 100 different things that could be wrong I’m kinda at a loss with it thanks for any help

Just a guess as I have never had any experience with that particular pump but if the shutoff isn't working to allow fuel flow in the pump it would prevent starting. When it's on the tractor does it pump to the injectors when you attempt to bleed?
