[QUOTE="Chris 8603, post: 128895, member: 23605"] That is a fairly common problem with glow plugs. Not only do they operate in a dirty place inside the motor, they also get really hot. This over time will cook any soot residue to them. The good part is you did what you did and didn't try and muscle them out. I've seen people do just that and break them off. So hats off Mr patience!!. You can try and blow into the hole and see if you can get any of it out, but honestly your probably not. Unless it was a really big piece of carbon on them that fell off your not likely going to do anything to hurt it. Short of pulling the head your not going to be able to get much out. I bump the motor a few times just to make sure there's nothing big enough to lock it from turning. Then fire it off!! It's better to replace them so it will start in cold weather than spray it with ether and ruin a otherwise good engine. The only thing I want ether for is to mount tires. Saw to many engines ruined with that crap. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
