Bump with another update.
Through this week i finished fiddling with the glow plugs and have removed each and confirmed it glowing hot with jumper cables and a battery.
The battery has been on a de-sulphator all week.
I think I can safely eliminate electrical as the source of the lousy starts.
Tomorrow I am pulling the valve cover and going at the valve adjustment again. My thoughts are to work off the suggestion of after adjusting trying one feeler gauge bigger and seeing if it fits in.
I was going to take that idea a step further and actually adjust for one step down from the .35 and .1 gauges and then insert the proper .35 and .1 gauges to see how they feel.
