Not enough can be said for NOT squirting explosives into the intake

says not to do this right in the manual!


We appear to be talking about engines big enough to require starter
motors, I agree that tiny one or two cylinder jobs wouldn't like it (I
said a cautious squirt and into a fast spinning engine but you snipped
that bit.) With a really small engine hand cranking to help the
starter is a much better idea.


Read someone else's reply to my paragraph about GM 6-71 and 8V-92 large
diesels being overhauled. Ether starting is very hard on ANY diesel.
