    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.

    Regards

    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.

    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...

    Did anyone see the New Inventors the other night? A bloke on there with a gadget for moving cars around in workshops. Calls it "Move Ya Bastard". I wonder if he could have a bit of a fight with Nulon coming up?
    Great stuff!!!

    Nulon have two other silicon based products that they were going to call "Move ya Bastard" and "Slide ya Bastard". Don't know why they didn't...

    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 I am seriously fast getting over this effy!!
    Believe me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

    starting when she wants to
    What, like in the middle of the night, or when you're sitting in a restaurant having dinner or something?
