[QUOTE="goodtech, post: 1888, member: 259"] ether does not have enough lubricants to lubricate your cyclinder walls, so it pretty much taking out your rings in your engine. So then that happens, after you use ether is that the engine cannot make enough compression on its own to heat up the cyclinders to make the diesel fire so then you have to use ether again to get it started it is a visous cycle and pretty soon you loose compression in these small little engines and usually they are damaged enough where they cannot be rebuilt. Everybody says its okay to use it here and there, but in these small little engines it will kill them. I have replaced alot of ether babys in bobcats and the owners did not know that ether will kill them that fast, so throw that can away! [/QUOTE]
