OK, 1.2 ohms would be a bit better, but at least they are not open.

Confirm current flow quick and easy with courtesy lamp - it should dim when you switch to pre-glow.

OK, so we know you are getting glow to 5 cylinders.

It will not start without a little shot of starting fluid, even on hot days... When it starts it runs great, how it should.
I am 100% in agreement with P.E.H, don't bother with fuel filters.

I suspect an air leak, introduced by an old hand primer pump. A little air in the injector lines will make a hard-start or no-start. Once it's running, after starter fluid boost, the fuel pump must be keeping up with the injector demand.

I'll let others comment, and suggest quick ways to check/replace your hand primer.

Sorry, my OM603 is self-priming....

Best Regards,
Jim
