    Using ether in new engines in not a good idea at all. The maintenance department at my outfit went so far as to ban any and all use of ether and have threatened immediate termination for any employee caught using ether. They claim it causes significant damage.

    I imagine they don't like it because so many people use it wrong. If you use too much, the pistons will fire before they're supposed to and you're left with a problem. Or, you can use too much and just cause a big boom.

    Anyways, ether's available at pretty much any auto parts store, Wal-mart, some gas stations, many convenience stores, and I imagine pretty much every truck stop.

    Yes, ether is nothing more than the technical name for Starting Fluid. BTW, don't try and park at the Wal-Mart in Carlisle....the cops will wake your arse up at 1:30am and tell you to move. :biggrin_25516:
