Try changing the glow plug out first, sounds like it may be on the weak side. If that doesn't help try leaning the low end out a little and see if you get any results.

It defanitely sounds like the plug is dead :D

Change the Plug to a NEW one...Then charge your glow ignitor...

If that dosent work, we might have to work on a tune...

Glow Plug sounds like it's dead.

Take it out and look at the element ( coil of wire in center )

If it's distorted or broken it's dead.

You can hold the plug in your hand and attach the glow igniter - then watch the coil glow red hot - if it doesn't.... it's dead.
(don't burn yourself or try to light your cig with it :D )

If the coil is caked with gunk it's probably dead.

If the end of the coil is no longer touching the outer rim of the plug face, it's dead.
