Reminds me of trying to start my sister's Cavalier back home in Minnesota on a -25 day in the dead of winter - I was spraying ether or something in the carb and trying to start it, after all else had failed. Well, it started - and 4-foot flames shot out of the engine! After a few minutes they died down, but the engine was a blackened mess - still, it started, and ran fine ever since. Go figure. - Anton -- *********************************************************** * Check out the The Bed-Stuy Network! * * http://www.spacelab.net/~anton * * * * And the OYABANDO page - Surf music links and more... * * http://www.spacelab.net/~anton/oyabando * * * * "Guitar lines that taste like grape jelly..." * ***********************************************************
