I've used starting fluid in the past to get some stubborn jet skis running and i thought my 3W could benefit as well...(especially on cold days) Is it ok to use this stuff?

Works well..SPARINGLY..

might want to make sure the engine is primed really well before you psssst it with ether (starting fluid). I've been using flintstone's, I mean prestone's starter fluid w/out any issues. (agree with what RCIGN1 said as well).

right theres no lube in the fluid so you don't want it to run on it too long.

thanks guys

I just heard WD-40 works as a starting fluid, and it's got lube!

I was too a small engine repair shop the other day. WD40 is what he used and I notice it worked real good. I also read it has fish oil in it ....that is why some fishernmen use it on casting lures and trolling spoons. Keeps em from rusting too!!!! Capt,n P.S. Many starting fluids have lube in them....read the can.

cool

When I worked in A mower shop we started using the WD-40, worked as well as starting fluid and no dry starts.

For my garden appliances, I have used glow fuel quite a lot for starting gas engines after a long winter rest. It works well, and as far as I could notice, leaves no residue whatsoever. The castor in the fuel can't be all that bad for the first few engine revolutions.
