i have never used wd 40 as
a substitute for ether.
i use it to start an engine which has lost bleed.
i am glad folks have had success using it for starting. it is no substitute for proper worknig glow plugs. when it is cold and the glows dont work the only way to start them is to get it warm in a garage or pull them to work up a higher rpm which will start them under any circumstances as long as they have fuel and compression.
i have used ether but only a very short whiff outside the air cleaner. with the wd40 you need to spray inside the air cleaner. it wont go thru the filter.
good luck.
