Since this is a V8 that normally uses ether to start below 70
degrees, I would roll it over several revolutions to be sure it will
not hydo lock then get on the seat and put it in 4th high and
hold the brakes. Leave the fuel shut off and roll it over with
starter. If it fire up use the clutch to kill it if necessary. Even if
the fuel in the cylinder fires off, excess should be blown out on
the exhaust stroke and be gone in a couple of revolutions.

Crank for about 20 seconds and then wait at least two minutes
for the starter to cool and crank again. Repete this until you see
oil pressure on the gauge and then try to start it. If it starts
without ether it is probably pretty good, compression wise.

Below 70 degrees the starting procedure is to get the engine
rolling over and if it does not fire right off to press and hold the
ether assist button. Continue to hold the button down until the
white smoke clears. Could take a couple of minutes.
