ether has been used for a long time to start old/cold diesels, but what about the use on gas engines?
I'm amazed how many YouTubers spray ether down the carb throat, when I was told the right way to do it, if you really had to do it,
was spray some on the air filter and let it be ingested that way.
Obviously ether is seriously flammable, explosive I'm sure, but so is gasoline. What harm does ether do?
Lot of comments on other threads about NOT using ether but the word sure hasn't gotten out.
Warranty techs say "oh, we can tell immediately and it will void your warranty". Why? They treat it like we are sticking an M80
down the carb.
With all of the ethanol issues leading to hard starting, is ether just the wrong choice 100% of the time? I use it very sparingly and not very often, but
always wondered why there was so much divergence in opinion on it.
