I am sure there is a specification in the manual, I do not have it. If there is 14.7 PSI ambient atmospheric air pressure, and we put it into a combustion chamber 15 times smaller, it reaches 220 psi plus the pressure of heating it. probably about 250 psi. If the ratio is near 19:1 then 300psi would be likely. Those are just calculations, if your engine uses no oil, runs well after a brief warmup, and will start with ether. I'd say you are OK. Ether injector kits may make it easier to do the job, and easier on the internals (from correct amounts, and while turing over) The owners manual should be specific on the process expected to be used.
