[AT] Starting fluid (was Re: TD6 Trackloader timing problems. Where is TDC

[Mike Sloane]

At the tractor dealership where I worked, the mechanics claimed that 
"2+2 Gum cutter" <www.berkebileoil.com/special.htm> was the best stuff 
for both cleaning carbs and starting gas engines. Since then, my 
experience with it backs up that claim. It is also easier on the engines 
than ether - no knocking. And it seems to do a better job of removing 
varnish and old glue & gasket cement too. The local engine machine shop 
guys use it by the case.
