you shouldent have to use starting fluid to start the rebuild.. try starting it with a really good charge battery

why not just drive around in it alot, just add some miles to help the break in?

If the rebuild was done correctly it should start without carb cleaner or starting fluid. If you suspect its not turning over fast enough you might need more than a battery. If your engine builder has to use carb cleaner or starting fluid on ever rebuild I'd consider someone else on your next rebuild. Occasionally you might need a little help but not on ever engine.

Its not every time i start it, its just after sitting 3-4 days in the cold. IS that not normal? Once Ii run it for the day, it will start up no problem the rest of the day and sometimes the next morning if i ran it the night before. It was rebuilt with brand new housings and mazda seals. You think it will get better when I install my msd?
