It needs heat from compression and cranking rpm to ignite the fuel. Too slow or too low psi and there won't be enough heat. A cold engine also absorbs the heat from the compressed air keeping combustion chamber temps below ignition level.
The fuel has to be in a fine mist from high pressure injection and working injectors.
Odds are with age and hours the engine is lacking all three requirements.
Every year about now, cold weather and ether questions start showing up. Have people never heard tell of block heaters?
If that engine has been ether abused there could be broken rings or crushed piston ring lands. From there on in the compression will be lower and ether will be required for cool starts.
