Would've thought he sprayed in some easystart or brake cleaner into the air intake by un-clipping the air filter assembly.
Only a short spray whilst cranking the engine over is enough to make it fire.
Don't spray too much of it in there as it'll cause damage :adminfinger

Nope, you could find out what's causing the problem.
As Chris says... poss pump, air leak, low compression, **** battery...
Easy start is strips the carbon from the engine, carbon actually helps to some degree. It's known as the automotive addictive drug, obviously it can't be addictive to a vehicle. Stripping the carbon build up often lowers compression, lower compression causes starting problems... As a result you use easy start, see the pattern?
Horrible Stuff !!!!

Agreed :thumbright:
I'd only use it if really stuck and need to get it going.
As Chris and Biggi say, you need to find the cause of the problem and sort it properly :wink:

Right couple of sprays down the Air intake and no joy¨!! i dont really trust that stuff. Im sure its just from the cold as it happened last season!
Any suggestions or shall i just wait for spring ??

where are you? If you are in the UK then id say your heater plugs arn't working atall.

When you say frozen engine do you actually mean gelled fuel?
If that's the case you'll need to change your fuel filter and bleed the fuel system.

 

[Buttersnow]

Im in switzerland .Last year the local mechanic said it was the crappy fuel which was frozen ... he sprayed easy start in a small pipe in the engine and woosh it was fine after that .....
unluckly my truck is stuck at a friends a bit far out , maybe im just gonna have to call some out to see it !

That's odd because it should fire and run for a few seconds on the easy start/brake cleaner regardless of any fuel being pumped into the cylinders :scratch:
The engine was being cranked over whilst the "couple of sprays down the Air intake and no joy¨!!" were being administered :?:
If so, there's more amiss than just fuel issues
