I tend to use these ether based things as a last resort. After a while you can end up with glazed bores and the engines also become addicted to the stuff ie. will not start without it.
These products however are great for starting and engine that hasn't run for a while.
We use 'Start ya Bastard' to start our old Cat D4 dozer on the farm, you have to pull start the starter motor, then try a engage the big girl without stalling it. We squirt the SYB in the air cleaner while engaging, works a treat.:2tsup:

Don't poke much into a diesel,
Ive seen 6 cyl Fordsons bend cranks with too much ether
I bought some the other week to coax the outboard into life. I knew I was getting spark but it still wouldn't start and I think I may have passes out a couple of times trying.
Glo plugs bring back memorys.
and Mills engines.
You got a Velocette? I have a '54 LE.... which is not in the classic tradition. Hasn't run for years but is restorable if I could be bothered going to retrieve it from the farm. As to ether and castor oil... ED Bee 1cc. flick, flick, flick...Quote:

Wonder if this would work on the old effy... shes gotten into a habit of NOT starting when I want her too and starting when she wants to... seems when I want her to start she decides to get phissed and flood herself so we have to sit around and wait for her to sober up then its a matter of how bad her hangover is as to IF she will start then :doh: I am seriously fast getting over this effy!! :~
What, like in the middle of the night, or when you're sitting in a restaurant having dinner or something?Quote:
