I have a 1466 that I've owned for 35 years. It has just under 5000 hrs. I use it mostly for fall tillage. It always started right up every time I use it. I was disking recently and was done for the day. I throttled down to let the motor cool before shutting it off. It completely stopped when I moved the lever toward idle. I didn't have the throttle lever in off position. I tried to restart it and it wouldn't. I had to give it a sniff of ether to get it to fire. Being the end of the day, I shut down and walked away from it until the next day. Now, it will not start at all without a sniff of ether, no matter what the outside temp is. It runs like it should after it gets running and I am still using it. Any thoughts why this happened suddenly, and what is the cause?? Do I have the beginnings of an injector or pump issue? Thanks.
