Hi All...
If it is NOT OK to use ether to start a deuce, then why are so many
deuces (including mine) fitted with factory-option ether injection
systems?
These systems use tanks that look like the Sears propane torch tanks,
but they have ether in them. You flip a switch on the dash and it
gives a shot of raw ether into the intake manifold. I've never used
mine, but it is there.
