If your fuel filter is not plugged and valves are adjusted correctly; there is a 90% chance your starter is bad, my 1985 300SD will start at 40F (no glow plug) with ten seconds of cranking.

called fastlane, i guess they'll get back to me tomorrow on the harness. i'm not so sure about the starter. it's 60 degrees F here and i just tried to crank it again. starter turned over very quickly (it goes slower in freezing temps), and kept turning over for a full 20 seconds or so. a good amount of white smoke, engine still won't start.
this makes no sense, if all but one of my GPs are getting proper voltage, its warm outside, and the starter turns over quickly, shouldn't i be able to start it with friction from the starter?
