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. So to avoid having to do either one again,I drilled a hole in the tube and brazed one of those screw in valve stems from a rear tractor tube in to it. I took the core out so I can just shoot ether straight in to it.
Dad did the same thing to a 77 we used every day about 40 years ago,but he used a piece of copper tubing and cut a few threads in it so he could screw a valve cap on it. I had a whole drawer full of these valve stems here and figured that was the simpler way to go.
