I just purchased a ~1986 D3B, 27Y, 5100 hours. Everything is working well except for starting. On cranking it puts out white smoke but does not fire. A short spray of ether in the air intake and it takes off. The factory starting assist ether system has been disconnected.
When running there is no smoke. Has blow-by but seems normal from what I have read. This is the first older dozer I have had and normally work with newer excavators.
I am planning to have a compression test done. Thanks.
