OK, the ol girl started every time I needed her to this winter (which wasnt often), if plugged in fuel control pulled into that sweetspot, and a good shot of either. I know no one like's ether, me neither, but it wont go with out it, until it's 70 out. It dont use oil, smokes only when first started for about a minute(light blue, white). Now comparing this to other tractors I have had to run the last few days at other farm. older tractors pop right off. ex oliver 1750D and 2050. John deere 4020, farmall 560D and 756D. They seem to spin over faster and pop off right away.I had the starter rebuiilt last fall, have all 00 cables, and 2 new 725CCA batts. Seems to have plenty of power. Injection pump built last fall as well. I am truelly frustrated having to give it either all the time and am afraid of the IH dealer shop $$. Some one recommended adding 'SeaFoam' to the oil and running a can in the next tank of fuel. What do you all think of that and is there anything else I am missing, such as a different RPM starter? Thanks, Dave
