[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 6538, member: 82"] Ether has nothing to do with glow plugs for starting. The ether can says DO NOT use glow when you give the engine a snort, it can cause pre-detonation. I would seriously look at the plugs before you do anything else. I had a machine with 5-6K hours on the clock, it was a pig to start, glowing for 60-120 seconds still wouldn't start rite. It would fire then shake and stop. The ends of the plugs tapered to a point. The tip didn't glow at all, just a small red patch at the end of the thread. New plugs made it start with 30 or so second glows. [/QUOTE]
