I ask because the farm I work on, the old Ford loader they use for snow moving is a cold/slow cranker so the farmer keeps on a can of starting fluid on it (for use during the winter only). If that's now what is making it fire off, I'll stop using it!
On big diesels in cold weather sometimes it's the only way to get them going as long as it's used sparingly. I used plenty of it my self on old Cummins to get them going.
