AVB has mentioned he doesn't like the idea of using ether spray to try and wake up any two stroke engine. I believe he means from concerns of momentary lack of lubrication on firing up. I think in most circumstances, there would be enough oil residue to tolerate a small number if strokes before more two stroke oil arrives via the fuel. What's your take Norm?
This is not invalidating AVB's concerns. He is likely right, in some circumstances at least.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
