Big Mack Tip For cold weather starts use WD40 instead of starting fluid. It is easier on the engine and is available at most convenience stores. Great for chain saws and other gasoline powered engines. Meet Big Mack
Pop, Would that work for diesels as well?
Yes, it will work for diesel engines.
ive started diesels with a little gasoline when i had no ether. just make sure, whatever you use, to disable the glow plugs (if equipped).
Used it for years
