@@NewHampshireVintage well, I know what it's like trying to keep my thoughts together while talking to a camera. sometimes it doesn't go too well! keep up the good videos.
dude i used starting fluid on one of my old sleds over 10 years nothing happen . and i see people use starting fluid on tractors and other old machines for 20 plus years nothing happen
If you use the starter spray that has lube in it you are better off. They make two kinds of starter spray in a can . One has the lube, the other is just dry ether. Dry ether is murder on certain two strokes and wankel rotary powered sleds. I used to have the junk parts I’ve found to show people. Saw a guy burn down a classic oval sled at a meet just a few years ago. Siezed it. Wrong starter fluid. Buy the kind with the lube added or just use premix in a spray bottle . Best practice. 62 year old ex racer here.
Not trying to be a grape here. Because I ve had friends who have used both and got away with it mostly because the fuel in the sled is oil mixed. But if by chance the two cycle engine that relies on premix is dry in the crankcase, no old fuel present, no lube in the spray, the chance for damage goes up. Four strokes have oil in the case so it’s always lubed down below , therefore it takes an overdose of ether beyond common sense to hurt one. 2 stroke sled engines, especially competition designs with tight tolerances to avoid compression loss, are more finicky. Cheers!
Can't wait to see our old Inviter as part of your shop tour! Hope the "rescue" is going well! Great videos.

New sub... Let's Fix Something sent me.
If you ever get back to it would be great to have an overview of the mechanical system on the Johnson. Is that an outboard motor they converted?
I can do that!
Did you go to the Andover antique snowmobile show?
don't worry too much about saying "um" a lot, you will notice it more than most people who watch your videos. nice collection!
Thanks man! I’ve definitely gotten better as I make more videos but still need to work on a few things lol

starting fluid will kill your crank bearings, use a pre-mix in a sprat bottle

@@glenmallory9982 That is all I was pointing out,
I need that Johnson in my life.
I don’t think I’ll ever part with her. Definitely one of the funnest sleds to ride around on
What about the story on the DeLorean?
It’s in the making been busy with work. Hopefully wrapping up filming this weekend
