Is it making white smoke out the exaust pipe??? If so give it a lite snort of ether, and see if it starts or tries at least. If no white smoke; no fuel is being delivered by the injection pump. Either no fuel in the tank or filters are pluged, or you have air getting into the delivery system.

Air in the injection lines? Have you tried bleed them wile cranking? I have a Ford 5000 that is a real b**ch to bleed all of the air.
I assume you are putting enough either to it to use; should "fire" on either even if NO other fuel is present; just will not keep running. My guess is compression is horrible low; or; valve timing is off so far the fuel is not entering the cylinders on the correct stroke. Did you have the cam out? did you replace any timing gears? I had a 606 that had been overhauled that would take nearly a can of starting fluid to get it started in 80 degree weather. Cam timing the culprit.

Ether should be used very sparingly. If you used a can to start an engine on a hot, cam timing isn't the culprit of having to rebuild it again.

If it won't start on ether it has no compression.
Not true. I can tell you if there is no fuel in the tank or injector pump is sucking just air from a broken line you can fill the intake with either of today and it will not as much as go poof. I did it on a crawler 3 winters ago. used up 2 cans of either and had the charger on the battery and two vehicles with boosters on it and nothing. My dad came along and told me to get some diesel in the tank. Tank had developed a hole and it had drained empty and I was to dumb to know. Put fuel in tank, bled it, and had it running in short order. I will say todays either when -10 outside is not much better than WD40.
