They got warm, and drew power so i figured they were ok.... WRONG, i took one out and you could instantly see that they were stuffed, they were not parallel, they looked like an hour glass. I hooked one up to the battery and it did glow, but only a small section at the base of where it screws into the head, not where it the fuel squirts on to. So i swiped a set from another machine that were good, hooked them up and 20-30 second glow and it starts rite up. Unlike before, i had to glow for about a minute then crank and crank and crank some more and it may start, then stop. Glow a bit more then crank and then it was ok (maybee).So, if you ever have starting troubles, pull out the glow plugs and be sure they are ok by hooking them up to a battery and they should glow rite to the tip within 10-15 seconds. I just wish i picked up on this earlier!!!!</blockquote>
