Do you remember the little rubber capsules of ether that truck drivers used to carry for cold starts? They looked like a huge dose of some sort of medicine! Slice the end off the pill and squeeze the liquid ether into a fitting in the air intake duct with a spring-loaded cap, then pull the compression release knob and spin the engine over. Once the engine was spinning freely, push the knob in.
The high compression Diesels with a 22:1 compression ratio can be damaged by starting fluid, whether or not the glow plugs are operating.
