Re: Advise on getting truck running after 5 years
i think they have covered almost all of it.
i would strongly recomend having a buddy there helping you. its safer to have one guy turning the key, while the other watches under the hood at all times.
if your gunna try and use ETHER or any other spray fuel. MAKE SURE THE MOTOR IS TURNING OVER WHILE YOU SPRAY.
many people say that its bad for an engine to start it this way, but up here in the great north, we start big rigs at work with it all the time. most guys spray a bunch in, and then walk and turn the key. what happens is all the spray goes into one cylender, and blows apart that cyl.
if one guy has the throttle on the floor, you can control the engine speed with your finger on the can. it is totally safe, ive had trucks running for 1-2 min on ether alone, no harm done.
