What temperature with the engine in without ether? We have a Ford 6610 that will start over 32° f. When cranking over, white smoke comes out. To start the tractor, it takes 2 squirts of ether or more to start. Once the tractor has warmed up, its turn key. The tractor might have some water in the lines (we got 6 gallons of watery fuel out, until it stopped coming out of the tank). We have the air cleaner line off to spray ether. The snow was from some weeks ago. I was able to clean out most of the snow after this photo was taken. We used the tractor last Friday to take off the backhoe. The picture is on its side. The only reason I like a gas engine is because the engine starts up in the cold. Start the gas 3000 when it was 15° last winter (2018).
