You get 0.43 psi per foot of head, and then your small pipe has friction 
losses on top of that. So at 4 feet you are maybe at 1.6 psi. Not a lot. 
Check your faucets to see if they have any aerators or flow restrictors 
on them. These are removable and that might be all you need to do to get 
some flow.
