Hey guys, my B6000 is extreamly hard to start when cold, I turn on the glow plugs for over a min, put the throtle up and try and start it. I get lots of white smoke but she just wont fire up. when I shoot starting fluid in the air breather it will start up and run good. Can it be its not spinning fast enough to start?

Could be problems with the glow plugs.

I know with my b6000, if it's really cold out I pull out the decompression lever, ALL the way out, I also never put the throttle all the way up, I pull the lever until it just taps the throttle, glow plug it for however long, turn the ignition, you will notice it spins really fast, then slam in the decompression lever in and it fires right up...maybe that may do the trick?
