RE: MP Jet diesel troubles
Well if you used the starting fluid shown in your picture as your ether source, you only have 16% ether in the final mixture-if you did a 1/3-1/3-1/3 mix-nowhere near enough (in fact about half what you want)-so it's not surprising nothing is happening....under 20% ether, from cold, new engine-it is highly unlikely it would fire, let alone run.
If you're having trouble with MP Jets, it will be an operator problem, not an engine problem..............
