It is possible that the Ip is out, but it would be an extremely big coincedence that it went out when it ran out of fuel.
We know for sure that it is going to take a new starter and cables, I would hold off on the IP until your friend gets the starting system up to snuff.

OK My brain is starting to work. lol You probably have checked this but have you made sure The Fuel selonoid on the Ip is getting voltage when you apply voltage you will hear an audible click. I should have mentioned and eliminated this first.

he is in the process now of replacing the cables with 600volt welding lead around 4-6guage wire now and doing a starter as well...it is a standard but were he is at lot of snow and muck and pull strarting isnt a great option right now...we never thought to check voltage at the ip...what should it read out?....when the key it on you have the loud click from the glowplug relay but if the ip puts out a low click you cldnt hear it ill have him test for voltage at the ip...thanks!

Broken glow plug is not good and sometimes ends up in head removal, was it already broken off or did he break it off.
To see if the Ip is getting voltage and the solenoid is not stuck turn the key on and pull the Ip wire there should be a click coming from it.

No resetting it it either works or it doesn't if it doesn't click when you touch it with 12 volts it isn't working. Caution if you remove the top and don,t get it back on exactly right it will cause a runaway with very possible motor damage.
