reamed glow plugs, now won't start in warm weather!

i forgot to vacuum out the pre-chambers. do i just have a ton of carbon blocking the fuel from getting to the cylinder? i didnt know i was supposed to do this until after putting everything back together; i foolishly thought those little flutes on the reamer tool magically removed all the carbon!

all my gp holes were clogged up pretty well. it took a lot of twisting and crunching of carbon to even get the tool to start threading in.

will removing everything and vacuuming out solve my problem? if so i need to ride my bike to sears or something and pick up a battery powered vacuum. my car is parked a couple blocks from my house.

yes, i did crack all the hard lines at the injectors, crank, and then tightened them after seeing fuel on them. is the reamed out carbon in the prechamber now a big gooey mess because of the injected diesel? i would think the high pressure of the injection nozzles would have just forced all the carbon through the prechamber into the cylinder and ultimately out the exhaust. didnt really think it was necessary to vacuum it out. but i DID seem to have a lot of carbon buildup.
