Did anybody think that perhaps that choke mechanism is working. This has more replies irrelevant to this poor guys starting issue. Kind of like a doctor treating the symptoms instead of the cause. Admit it, it's a crutch for another problem.
I haven't used that stuff in so many years that I can't remember when, but my common sense tells me that he is spraying it into the intake and THEN cranking the engine, not cranking as he sprays, so there is some "loading" of the cylinder. Of course he said that it needed an overhaul anyway. Nope, I can't quote a single source, except the guy that cooked the engine in his Bobcat 3 weeks ago by starting it with fluid after it ran out of Diesel, oh and my neighbor that used it on his John Deere mower when it wouldn't start one afternoon. Is there any kind of documentation about damage from starter fluid use, or is this one of those pervasive hand-me-down rules that happen from time to time (sort of like putting a battery on concrete)? It may create a leanish condition, but it's not like you're loading up the cylinder with liquid the stuff is atomizing and going in with the air. The fuel delivery would still be occuring, so the oil that would normally be there would still be there (barring a fuel or oil pump failure, but that would not be related to the starting fluid.) using the starting fluid, it has no oil and will result in a "dry" condition which will score the cylinder walls.
