You used too much. I worked on a farm and we had to use ether all the time to get things running and I never broke anything. One time I sprayed too much in an engine and it revved really [way too] fast, but it didn't break anything. But these were large 500 ci IH in milk trucks, and smaller

Kim, It is nice to hear a ski lover, because in these temperatures it is very dangerous if you do not now what you are doing. But you are right, it is nobody in the slope and with the right snow and sunny it can be great. Already at minus 25 C you have minus 60 C in the slope, if you consider
