I really don't recommend this for an outboard type engine. Alluminum

don't like it as they tend to meld down from the excessive heat generated.
Plus, once you burn the either, the engine still dies because there is no
fuel.

I have a problem with my cylinders getting flooded with 2-cycle oil when I
leave the engine sitting up for any period of time, so a couple of shots of
ether allow me to burn off the oil and get gas into the engine... I wonder
if an atomized spray of gasoline would work just as well... Perhaps one of
the Misty Cool type of nozzles connected to a small container of gasoline
that could be pressurized... If this would work, it sure would solve the
problem of possibly being offshore and running out of ether...




And it would make a great anti-smoker device, too.
