I'm most familiar with Deere's, so that's what I'll comment on.

John Deere has offered factory-installed ether injectors for MANY years. And they don't give a "tiny" shot, either.

Up here in the cold North, Deere's with the ether injectors have them used quite frequently, and yet the engines live 8000, 10,000 or 12,000 hours without a major OH, so ether CAN'T be as destructive as the nay-sayers claim.

Anyone who has listened to a 466 fire off on a cold morning with a big shot of ether, PLUS the massive overfueling of the Bosch pump at startup wouldn't believe the engine would survive even one such event, yet it doesn't seem to bother them at all.

A neighbor had a 4960, and that thing rattled like a cement mixer full of steel balls, but when he traded up with over 10,000 hours on it, it was still running strong.
