I started stripping the 830 COM last night but before I started I plugged the 801's block heater in. I was working for about 3 hours and before I stopped for the night I tried to start the 801 and it was cranking kinda slow. So I guess I shoulda put the batteries on the charger also. Anyway, I hit it with ether and she popped off then quit. Hit it again and she caught and ran, (After clearing out the unburnt fuel). Then she restarted just fine after that. Wondering about replacing the block heater and the ether starting aid that was bolted to the side of the dash that someone removed before I got her.

Any suggestions? I'm kinda in agreement that I can buy a bunch of starting fluid for the $1,000.00 that a rebuild kit would cost.
Thanks,
Larry

Not much need to replace: "the ether starting aid that was bolted to the side of the dash"! Those gadgets used ether capsules that needed to be loaded into the units cylinder then the operator pushed down the plunger, breaking the capsule and forcing the ether into the intake manifold. So it says in the operators manual! We still have the thing on our 800 Diesel but have never seen the capsules anywhere. I'd say (today) they're only good for shows where originality is desired. Starting fluid, aerosol cans, work OK and are available. Just don't use too much. We crank her for about 5-10 seconds (to build oil pressure) then spray into the intake stack, not directly into the manifold. We feel, that way, the air cleaner tends to prevent the shot from being too dense. Works OK for us as long as the batteries are healthy. When it's below freezing and she hasn't been started for a few weeks... then we put it on the battery charger for about 1/2 hour, switching the charger to 'start' mode just before cranking.
