    I think the ether button was clearly marked “ether cold start”. Small black button on dash. That’s how mine came from factory on my Henrybilt with 3406B

    The ether can was mounted on firewall above the footvalve, but was tossed on most trucks after it ran out?

    Use to drive an A model back in the 80's. My W900L has the same problem, throttle pedal kills my right ankle after a few hours. I wear steel toes all the time, usually set my right heel on top of my left toe to straighten my ankle out.
