: Not enough can be said for NOT squirting explosives into the intake of a small, LIGHTLY MADE diesel engine. DON'T DO THIS! Notice it 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. Larry -- Have a little fun in the checkout line....
