You didn't say so I am going to ask. ....
After fixing the lift pump and the installation of the new fuel injectors and pumps... did you inspect for and adjust the fuel injection pump lift height to factory setting?
This is not good: "Dad tells me that they ALWAYS have had to use ether to get her to start from cold, before and after the rebuild. My experience has been the same."
On a warm summer day, that D2 should fire up easily without a visit from the ether bunny.
What is the blowby out of the engine under load? At idle?
These machine were not designed to run at idle. What is the engine temp when idling? Is the t-stat in it so it holds proper engine temp? They easily start slobbering if run much without being opened up and with load. I would work the crap out of it and see what happens. It might not even have seated rings if it has never been worked.

I would say it need's to run hotter. I have heard that the toy cat's if not doing a hard days work day in and day out they get to slobbering. But if you change the thermostat out to say a 190 it help with all things. As to the starting thing one you not weighting till things are warm or more like it you need to adjust your Lachesis on the starter pinion as it does not sound like your pony it running at full speed. i would have to look it up but i the pony at full throttler runs 3600 rpm and you should be turning the main over at 600-650 rpm. just as a refresher go watch he also got some grate info on starter pinon stuff as well. good luck keep us posted

mine does that ,my dads has been doing it for 40 years
What weight Oil you are running?
Hi Team,
with the pony running at Full Load Speed of 3,000 RPM, Hi Idle is higher at around 3400-3600 RPM, the main should be turning at around 335 RPM. Any less and starting will be difficult with these small diesel's.
Also compression is lost if the valve head heights are not within the specifications.
Cheers,
Eddie B.
