Yes it does start, poorly. Then runs fine after a minute.
Seems to do better with no throttle at all while cranking which is a new phenomenon. My usual M.O. for years has been to leave it floored until its firing. It used to be started and running as soon as you had the first bit of cylinder combustion. Now you need to keep the starter motor going a bit even after you are getting hits.

There was one or two for sure that had a lot of carbon. Putting solvent in there may be a project for next time. I can imagine it would help the plugs be more effective. My hands are quite roughed up from all the glow plug fiddlin and im not about to pull them out again. Im kind of looking forward to getting the valve cover off again and seeing if I can perhaps do the valves better this time.
Any tips on being more accurate with my feel to the whole thing I'm all ears. Ive done valves many many times but apparently this last time I was doing something wrong with the amount of tension I was going for on the feeler gauge.
