[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1385660, member: 9096"] Some stuff is just hard to start, no matter if it's taken care of or not. On our old Ford County, which has no cold start assists of any kind, I used to use ether when i had to, but wince every time... Since then I've welded a bung into the inake pipe with a good plug.. when I want to start it I put a heat gun in there on high until I get smoke coming out of the air cleaner... just barely cranks over but fires right away and will low idle happily with no need to rev it... it does however want the heat gun going for the first few minutes. retarding the timing definitely helps on cold starts too!.. I just pulled my truck timing back from 20* to 14* and it's a world of difference [/QUOTE]
