My wife and I lived in Casper WYOMING 40 some years ago and I remember those cold starts well I worked as a mechanic on trucks and equipment my whole life. I am retired now I am getting close to 75 years young. I really like those w900a,s I owned and operated a 1971 w900 with an ntc 350 Cummins it had the wide hood.

Lol plug up injectors? 😅 what are you even talking about? First off you spray ether in the intake meaning it enters via intake valve. Only thing that goes through injector is what's in the fuel tank. Secondly ether is an extreme solvent its not going to plug up anything. If anything it would clean it out. I literally don't even know why people like you comment with such remarks when you clearly have zero idea what you're even talking about

I can see you don't even own one of these big trucks. If it's been sitting and you're going to roll start it, you'll need to either bring an air compressor and air up the tanks or cage the chambers. Both not smart ideas. Plugging it in is the only smart option

When the rings pistons blow . Youll learn wiyh those engines , if you pat the pedal 3or 4 times and hold the pedal hapf way down , it will crank on its own , may take a couple times . You using way too much ether , just a quick squirt or two. And i dont even wsnt to talk about you revving a cold motor with cold oil ( meaning its not up into the block yet ) thats thats why you NEVER rev a cold engine , .you let it idle until the oil Guage moves , then only bump it to a 1,000 rpm until the water temp guage moves ........ if you dont want to blow your motor , other wise ;,rev on , ya killin me smalls
