Some folks say you should not use starting fluid(ether) on these. However, I have started my MD a couple of times on diesel with starting fluid. It will start with the starter that way. Takes a couple of tries when the weather is warm. I doubt you could do it in cold weather. As others said, check the manifold butterflys to make sure they are sending air to the carb as they should and also that the carb float is releasing. The float is locked up in diesel mode to shut off gas flow.
