I have little experience with diesels (getting some recently) but, on another discussion board, an old-timer recommended using WD-40 instead of ether. He said it wasn't as explosive, but needed to be put directly into the air stream, not through an air filter, and applied while cranking, not before. Others stated that ether problems were partially due to finesse - i.e. a big slug of ether could do real damage, bent connecting rods, blown out seals etc. Long term use ruined glow plugs (if present) ruined rings, etc. I'm no expert, but may try the WD-40 once just to see. My old 3-71 Detroit doesn't seem inclined to start at all below about 50 degrees with out some assist. My $0.02.
