Stumped

And be prepared for piston damage rearing its head some time in the
future. What fucking shite advice.

If you must use ether-based starting aids, just enough is the key.

 

Another urban myth. Bike engines are not high compression turbo diesels
which can suffer from ether preignition.

Yep, just enough to get the parafin based WD40 cleared through the carbs
until the engine will run unaided.

 

**** me, I must be one lucky bastard because I've been throwing easy
start straight into the combustion chamber whenever I felt the need
for the last 35 years and never blown a piston because of it.

 

You stupid, stupid ****.
What the **** do you think the nasty rattle is when a petrol engine
starts on ether?
Scotch fucking mist?

Oh, go away and shove your head up your arse, you fucking fucking
fucking moron.

 

Hasn't ether got a higher octane rating than petrol?

That's what I thought too, of course that means CRN was right.

 

What nasty rattle ?. Obviously a pre-fucked engine.
Ether sprays DO NOT damage engines. They do, however, get used frequently
on pre-fucked engines and then get blamed by thick cunts perpetuating
an urban myth.

Up yours, you gullible ****.

 

Probably not, it needs to ignite at low compression ratios in worn engines.

 

Do you ever research anything you post?

If I say "probably" and dont quote a reference it means that ICBA at the time.

 

Why bother posting then you dimwit?

Nige wibbled...

If everyone in UKRM didn't post unless they researched their reply it'd
be bloody quiet in here!

 

Try squirting some on a match to see how much compression it needs...

<does quick Google>

Various ethers are added to petrol to increase the octane rating. I
don't know which ether is in SYB, but it seems likely they'd want to
increase the flash point, seeing as you're spraying it around an area
likely to have sparks 'n' stuff.

I doubt it's any better at starting an engine than pure petrol in a
spray can would be. I bet it is safer though.

I'm gonna have a wd40 vs. easystart flameoff this afternoon

Utter cock.

Oh, I give up, you thick, thick ****. You've just latched on to the
latest 'Oh, that sounds interesting' theory propounded by another
know-nothing arsehole like yourself and mindlessly repeat it.

You utter dimwit.
**** off and start your engines by a two-minute ether input every
morning and see how long the pistons last. Honestly, I've never heard
such shite in here before and it's up against some pretty stiff
competition, innit.

 

First explain why it would ever be necessary to use ether for 2 minutes.
That is 120 seconds, time it, it is a lot longer than you think.
Then explain how using an ether spray to start a non-fucked 4 stroke engine
can damage the pistons. Cite proven examples - no FOAFOAF hearsay or
urban legends.

I have used ether sprays to start engines, including vintage engines, for
around 40 years and never seen any damage.
OTOH, read the label and DO NOT use heater plugs when starting a diseasel,
the results can be spectacular.

 

Your own words...
"I would first try draining the float bowls then crank for a while wide
open to clear the shit through. Then try some startyoubastard. You may
need to keep it running on this for a few minutes to clear the last of
the WD40, it makes a really shite fuel substitute."

Such advice is misleading and dangerous.

Do **** off. I've seen plenty of pistons with detonation damage. You
know full well it's damn near impossible to pinpoint what caused it,
after many miles in service, but the deathly rattle of ether detonating
in a firing up engine is indicative of some very nasty stuff going on
inside. To deny it or suggest otherwise is the action of a loon with his
head up his arse.

Once again, you've been found to be spouting shite.
