Try pouring a good amount (2-4qts) of boiling hot water over the pump and do the same with the filter. Don't dump the water over it, just pour it so as to heat the pump and filter. I've started many a diesel this way when they were borderline to starting and sometimes when they weren't even firing a bit. Works good too, to pour boiling water over the carburetor of a gasoline tractor engine (updraft carburetor). Used to have a Farmall A the we used for choring when I was a kid. We did not run it daily so it was not kept plugged in. After about -10F it would often fire once and take it away from the starter and you could never get it to take off. My dad used to get a kettle of hot water, pour it over the carburetor and away it would go.
