Seems to crank at a reasonable speed... until the battery gets discharged. I've been recharging with a charger. It cranked fast enough to start it when i test drove it anyway. Seems to want to start, its smoking and feels like it starts to fire but doesn't catch.

I saw a tiny amount of fuel on the top of the filter after the drive home, thats what got me replacing fuel lines, i think i got rid of that problem. i will check the fuel cap, but it does seem like fuel is moving through the prefilter (which is clear, btw). perhaps not fast enough.

The wire between all the plugs is glowing red after heating. and the light seems to be cycling properly.

I thought the resistance check only applied to pencil type glow plugs, so i filtered out those threads... am i wrong?
