The last three mornings,I've had to use ether to start the Oliver 77. I've been shooting it in the top of the oil bath air cleaner,but it's a bear to get it up in the top of it under the hood,then it takes a lot of it to do any good going through the oil bath. This morning I took the tube off the carb and shot a little straight in the throat and it started right up.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
