Whoa. Let's not confuse things any more than they already are with sloppy terminology. If the starter motor is spinning, and properly engaging the flex plate, so that it makes the crankshaft rotate and the pistons go up and down and all that, the engine is turning over. Maybe it isn't...

You will see 12v after the resistor ONLY when the glow plugs are on. When there is no current flowing, you'll see 24v on both sides of the resistor.

That voltage is low. Have you had the batteries load tested?

Lowes, Radio Trash, any hardware store. You can get a cheap one for ten bucks or so. It will do what you need. I recommend the digital kind, that shows numbers on a screen, instead of the kind with a needle. Much simpler to learn to use.

heh heh heh heh heh..... We've got another one sucked in! :mrgreen:

Good. You've got one, now to figure out how to use it. A voltmeter (more correctly called a multimeter) will tell you four kinds of things about electricity: Volts. That's pretty simple - how many jolts have ya got? Current. That's electrical flow. Resistance. How much restriction of...

Agreed. Step 1 is charge the batteries.

Yep. Don't sweat it - we'll get you there. One more piece of advice - completely ignore the 12v/24v debate. What's important right now is to get you back up and running. The shortest route to that goal is fixing the stock configuration, helped out by the knowledgeable members here. :beer...
