Good stuff Tom

Only thing I don't like is using starting fluid. I've seen too many bad results from it the hands of people that use too much. The fact that he got it started once it was warmed up a bit leads me to believe the battery may not have enough oomph or the connections are poor. I'd also add that the battery cables on most Cubs are too small to carry enough current in cold conditions. Had a 1210 that would not spin fast enough to get going on cold days. Replaced the cables with welder cable and a ground straight to the engine block, problem solved.
