That's not true. They don't have to walk up to your box to collect mail if they have no mail for you. If they do go to your box they are supposed to pick up the outgoing.
So it's still not starting without a shot of ether. I tried plugging it in for an hour and half. No help. Trying to dermine if the glow plugs are bad. Once it has ran and is warm it restarts fine.
