When I start my PSD when it has been sitting overnite it has a miss that I can make go away by spooling it up a few times. Well the temp in south MS has gotten low enough to where I would have to hit it with either to make it start then I remembered the plug lol. I plugged my rig in and the next morning it starts like a brand new truck no miss at all and it starts after just touching the key no winding on the starter. Is this a weak HPOP or what would make this happen.

Letting it sit all night and not plugging it in is going to create hard to start issues. NEVER, NEVER use ether on these motors. You can cause a lot of damage. Just plug it in and you'll be all good.

Also, might want to test the GPR (Glow Plug Relay). It might not be keeping the glow plugs on long enough or not getting enough power to them. NO ETHER!!
