The old 'Cruiser is finding it a bit hard starting in the mornings. I usually have to turn it over a couple of times and give it a wee bit of gas before it splutters into life. I recently changed the glow plugs but that doesn’t seem to have done it much good. Do you guys think I have screwed something up in the process or could there be another issue?
Cheers.

Do the glow plugs have power at the rail and for how long? Are the glow plugs you replaced the same voltage as the old ones? and when you say hard to start, it winds and winds then starts in a cloud of smoke?
