Nulon "Start Ya Bastard"

Well I picked up a can of this stuff the other day from Supercheap Auto.

A spray into the dodgy petrol blower vac that wouldn't start for less than $10,000 a day and she was firing on all cylinders 30 seconds later.

Looks like another great aussie product!

Never used that one but I swear by every other nulon products Ive used.
The oil additive that reduces hydraulic lifter noise is very good as is the injector cleaner that you add to the fuel.

Everyone should have a can in the toolbox.

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?

Hi Dean

just be aware that the product, probably 100% ether, will pound the big end bearing shells over time. Not a problem if she is an oldie and worn anyway but if it is a newish one and not starting due to something else it will die in the short run.

cheeers

According to the tin it's "24% ETHER plus other PETROLEUM ANTI-KNOCK ADDITIVES" (their caps).

I must have a special can of the stuff because mine is 25% ether

Did you tell them you were doing a review on it?

I have used aerostart years now for a lawn mower and a blower that I have trouble with if they haven't been used for a while. Good stuff.

As a kid, I used to mix ether and castor oil to make fuel for the diesel engines in my model aircraft. So that's probably all it is, or a slight variant. At least you didn't need one of the pesky glo-plugs to start the thing - probably why it works

That brings back memories! I've got scars all over my right index finger from starting those things and not getting it out of the way quick enough...

**Feralbilly** · 10th March 2007, 08:06 AM

Yeah. You flick it over, flick it over, flick it over and when it finally starts you shove your finger in to flick it over again. Aaah, memories.

I had an OS Max. Can't remember what cc it had.

It works on the lawn mower but wont work on the Velocette. (But nothing would work on a Velocette!!)
