well if the bigger of the two lines is kinked then it's probably the feed line. still check the fuel pressure.

Ok now what's an easy way to test the fuel pressure? Im assumin you hook the test gauge to the schrader valve but I can't get my gauge to screw on it, its in a tricky spot

if you look at it, it actually looks like a valve stem on a tire
