Re: OOOHHH er...
It's got a lot of uses Dave, but i've never used it to start engines. When i was an apprentice, we used to have Transits with the worst engine Ford ever made, the York Diesel, we had to use burning newspapers at the air intake on cold mornings or fire Easy Start into it. That stuff was like heroin for engines, once hooked, they needed it to start even in the Summer.Originally posted by Dave Burgess View PostBack in the day I used ta spray some down the owd carb o mi 1948 Foord Pop, crank the startin andle n the fukkin thing wud start wi a bang!"We're surrounded on all sides...

Re: OOOHHH er...
I think you will find diesels have changed now Dave. I just bought a Ford F350 Lariat Dual Rear Wheel to pull me excavator. It runs like a Rolex and is as quiet as a car. It is far removed from the 7.3 litre Ford Diesel flatbed I had in the nineties which drove me nuts....and it will tow fifteen Yank tons or 30 000 pounds. I fetched the excavator back yesterday and was having to stop it accelerating uphill. Unbelievable truck."If they control your speech.....they control your life"

Re: OOOHHH er...
I seem to remember the Britania we flew in from Germany to California was started by that system. The Canadians were horrified by the bangs and flames that shot out of the engines,and followed us along the taxiway with a fire engine at each wing. It came from Boscombe Down,and had to be the worst 3 day flight ever!Comment
