If it's got Fuel and Glow , It should GO.

1.Put a simple 12 Volt DC test light on each Glow Plug.(The Positive Pole) and time How Long the Plugs ACTUALLY get power.
[This will tell you if the Plugs are ENERGIZED ,LONG ENOUGH to Warm the P.C.]

2.CAREFULLY!!! after soaking the GPs for a couple of days with either "Kroil"
or a 1/2 and 1/2 Mixture of ATF and Acetone.For 2-3 Days.Remove the GPs
and test with a 12Volt Battery for HOT,HOT,HOT at the tip only!!!!
[This will tell you how many GPs you REALLY need to replace.]
[You're SOAKING the GPs 'Cause they most likely will be WELDED into the Alloy Head
by Carbon and dried out/cemented Veggie/Improper Bio"D" GOO]

3.Crack EACH Fuel Line Nut on Top of each Injector WHILE CRANKING!!!
[You're looking for Fuel delivery to the Injectors]

4.If y'all haven't found the Problem YET,go ahead and do a Compression(With Leak Down) Test.

5. If the Compression is Good I'd cast a Disparaging EYE on the Injectors.

(My Fear is that the "little Stinker" has suffered "IMPROPERLY Produced Veggie
Ring Stickage".Possibly, with attendant Injector CLOGGING !!!)

Good Luck
YMMV

(Oh,Yeah, make sure it has an AIR Filter of a vintage After the Legions left Londinium.)
