Hard cold starting 67 200D
was driving 15 mile trip everything was fine. Got there and tried to restart 2 hours later. Engine cranked but no fire. Got towed home. Purged fuel lines looked for obvious vacuaam leaks, still wouldn't start. Gave it a shot of ether and fired immediately. drove fine, started fine while hot. Next day same cold start problem. Any input? thanks

i would suspect the glow plugs first.
be careful with the ether. it is not recommended and may blow your head gasket or crack your head! tom w

Sounds like glow plugs to me. If one goes out, they all do since they are in series. Does the resistor on the dash glow? If not after about half a minute, they're not working. I agree with t walgamuth, use ether sparingly and never with glow plugs active.
