You could also spray WD-40 in to the intake to get it started. DO NOT USE ETHER!!!!

HAHAHA,

How serendipitous that you mention that becasue I was logging on specifically to ask about shooting a bit of ether in the engine. I'm a methodical guy who knows shortcuts only lead to problems, but I really need to get it out of my employers parking lot and arranging towing has been difficult.

Problem is, even using WD40, the intake doesn't seem to be taking in enough air. I took off the air cleaner cover and had someone crank the engine and I hardly felt any air being sucked in at all.

How much vaccuum should I feel when placing my hand into the air intake?

When it's running, you'll wonder if you can keep the hand. Typical vacuum is about 9" Hg, or 10 PSI. 20 or 30 lbs of force over than throat area.

So, at crank, how much air should it be moving?
