Maybe your carb is set to rich and its flooding which might foul your plugs and also hydro-lock your engine which makes it not want to turn over with your starter...try turning over your engine with the glow plug is removed..
Sorry i dont have any other help for you....Just a noob here also ..

Welcome to the site. Frost has a good point that you may be too rich and flooding out your plugs. Where are your settings currently at (HSN, LSN, and Idle)?
Your 2nd issue - Is it catching or engaging at all or seem like it engages and then "slips"?
If so you may need a new OWB for the starter. If you have the roto start plugged into the motor and doesn't turn at all than you may just have a very tight pinch and need to loosen the gluwplug slightly to let some of the pressure out. As soon as it starts just snug up the plug.

Forr the glow plug,you could be either way,rich or lean. What does the plug look like when it quits working?
