The overall consensus here seems to be against the use of ether. And I would have to agree. I do not like to use ether because once you start using it the engine becomes dependant on it. An engine with good glow plugs or some other intake heater should never use ether. I have never had any problems using ether. But there can always be a first. Just like everything else in life, you have to use it sparingly and correctly. It doesn't take a whole can to start an engine. Just a little sniff while the engine is cranking over will do the trick. Becasue of new technology in combustion chambers and fuel injectors, new engines do a much better job of starting in cold environments.
