Thanks for the replys. The battery is new NAPA. I'm leaning toward glow plugs as the problem. Is it possible that when I changed them (glo plugs), I didn't ream the holes, that there is carbon build up in prechamber preventing the heat from catching? I don't and haven't for several months used wvo. I've changed filters a couple times since, so that can't be it. Actually, I just did the secondary filter fearing water was plugging it up.

It's almost as if there is one glo plug working cause there is black debris coming from tailpipe. And "burnt" fuel smell. I guess I'll try reaming the holes for the glo plugs (any good substitute for a reamer?) I'd hate to buy the reamer if there is a good sub. Also, how do I get the carbon out. Will cranking blow the crud out?
