That wire you noticed is best left alone. RAB was refering to the excess fuel button on the Simms/Minimec inline pump. The 2000 has a CAV rotary pump rather than the Simms pump, and would not have any excess fuel device. The best advice I can give you on starting ability of an engine would be to make sure that it cranks close to 200 rpm's, keep the thermostart working, and keep clean fuel in the tank. If these things are up to par, then a Ford 3 banger will start down to 0 F without a block heater. If the engine only turns at 100 rpm's, it will never start. Make sure that cables and connections are good, etc. I know that's a little off topic, but important. More to the point, a cold start is one of the best quick tests of an engine's health. If the injectors and compression are good, your tractor will start, and that will save you a bunch of work in pulling them out and checking the compression. Some white/gray smoke would be quite normal from that engine upon first starting, and I doubt that you have much to worry about. HTH.
