The snowmobile club guys love ether. We've got a big Case mowing tractor that we've locked up repeatedly with ether. I think that one's issue is the IP, if I prime the snot out of it it'll start without ether. The first time I saw the ASV having trouble starting they sprayed it and then hit the heater button. Fortunately I don't think it was working at the time. I freaked out when they told me "oh thats the glowplugs"... The Pisten Bully (MB content, its got an MB engine) has no glow plugs and has an ether system built into the cab which sadly doesn't work anymore. -Curt
