My truck got NOS!!!

[Beerslayer]

i have pictures of ice in florida. so it may but useful. but i havent figured out how to fill it back up.

NAPA has the replacement ether canisters. If you buy one would you please post up the NAPA part number?

When I have trouble cold starting an engine, I almost ~never use ether.

If I have electrical power close, I use an electric heat gun pointed into the intake. This works well on gas engines too. Got a Honda Trail 90 going yesterday that hadn't run in 30 years. Wouldn't start until I put some heat into the carb.

On diesel engines I usually have an assistant with a propane torch pointed towards the air intake. If you burn the air filter it's your own fault

A rag soaked with diesel and set on fire also works held over the intake but I don't like that one much. Use at your own risk. If you do set something afire, please take pictures.

When I read the title as NOS, I thought someone found a NOS M35A2 that was stowed away for safekeeping

So . . . It's either ether or eather but it could be NOX not NOS.

I know how to spell both, we just need to figure out what it is.

Open the line and smell it. If you start laughing then it's NOX. If you start running then it's ether.

I hope I have helped tremendously!

Propane.......propane......proooooopane (with apoligies to Eric Clapton)

Looks like a propane/butane start aid to me also. The ether cans from John Deere are smaller (shorter).

Not exactly. There are two forms of nitrous oxide. Medical and Industrial. One has sulphur and the other does not. One will get you high and the other can kill you.

Either way the unfortunate tie to the brand NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) has been permanently burned into the fabric of society buy hill-billy mechanics and ****ty action flicks like Fast and Furious...

It's called nitrous oxide or nitrous for short... not NOS... or even worse... NAWZ!!!

 

[doghead]

You should either RTFM, or use the search function.

 

[hndrsonj]

A deuce with factory installed Nitrous, Yeah...... What's a TM?........

 

[Countryboy21]

I am going back to the truck on Thursday and will take it out and post some pics. Hope it has something left in the can!

 

[swbradley1]

If there is something left in the can please don't sniff it. No really, don't.

But do RTFM as DH suggested.

[AGE|kshaufl]

It is just an ether start can.

Just let it go. Read the TM's

 

[big1096]

I thought we were going to see some sweet new parts found languishing on a shelf somewhere. Nope, just another opportunity to "teach".

 

[Heavysteven]

I had to do a search to find out what RTFM means....nice

 

[Galdron]

Yea I searched it as well HeavySteven. Lol

 

[BlizzardX23]

haha... Our 1SG used to always say that in formation..(since we were the maintenance unit)..."If you dont know what something is, or how to do it...RTFM!"

Totally kidding, by the way. DO NOT sniff your bottle juice! EVER! Come on!

I know the "unfortunate tie" will probably always be there and will result in constant re-education.

And yes, I know there's a difference between medical Nitrous Oxide and Racing Nitrous Oxide. Thanks for that though.

 

[hughscpa]

Are you sure it is not a partially used can of whoop a**?

 

[JasonS]

ETHER, not either. And I assume you were referring to nitrous? Which is NOX.

NOx is a term that describes oxides of nitrogen (NO and NO2) which are a component of vehicle exhaust and contribute to photochemical smog. NOy describes NO3 and so on. N2O is nitrous oxide.

 

[bones1]

I have one and the spare holder, which the extra can is missing. Tis ether
I type like I've been sniffin it..............

Some people don't...

 

[Rodger]

Could it be propane? Added to the intake air for starting?
