    You want to release the ether into the engine while it is cranking over.

    Ether system troubleshooting

    As I said, the only time ether is released into the engine intake is after you release the button. In your post, you do not mention releasing the button.

    Ether system troubleshooting

    How are you operating it? I’m not familiar with FMTVs but assuming they use the same system as most diesels you need to hold the button, let it “load” then it releases the measured shot of ether when you release the button.

    Glow Plug Resistors

    Unless you intend to use the nato slave cable to start your truck in combat conditions with at least one dead battery, you’ll be fine without them.

    24v inline fuel pump

    I took a look at it today. It looks like my pump is 1/4” npt (Male). I used an adaptor on each end, that goes to compression fitting. I cut the original copper fuel line and inserted the whole pump and adaptor assembly into the section I cut out. It’s still working perfectly.
