Hard Starting 1980 Kohler Generator

[Tom Warner]

CAUTION! Spraying ether is alright for starting diesels but do not
just spray some in the intake manifold and THEN crank it. Wait until
it starts turning over and then spray a little into the intake. If
you just spray it in before starting to crank it, its possible to
bend a rod or worse. The ether needs to be sucked in at the correct
time.Ether is very volatile and literally explodes in the combustion chamber.
