Yes the fuel pump is clicking along good. I may need to check the screen. I also have a feeling the battery may be getting weak, as it does not take long at all for the cranking sound to slow down a bit. What has me confused is how it will want to hit and start for a couple of revolutions then just go back to cranking and puffing. That is what makes me wonder about the glow plugs. Are solenoid's pretty sturdy around heat and vibrations, or are they a bit on the weak side when subjected to heat and vibrations?
