Newbie here... and WHAT'S this thing??

[Harleighguy]

Hello all, I just recently got myself a Bobbed deuce and now the fun begins... I have a question about WHAT the ORANGE cylinder thing on the drivers side rear of the engine is. I have tried to post a pic, but there seems to be something wrong as it won't attach...

 

[KsM715]

Ether (sp?) start. Its a way to spray a metered shot of ether into the motor to help it start.


Edit: how big is the pic? They have to be smaller than a certain size to attach.

 

[6x6guy]

Its a ether cold start assist, should have a thin plastic tube to the air manifold intake.

 

[Harleighguy]

KsM the pic is 500x375, ok if it's an ether bottle how do you refill it?? I don't think I have a need as the truck fires right up, but I would just like to know. It's been a long time since I had a deuce under my backside and then I don't remember the ether bottle thing when I was driving one.

 

[KsM715]

I dont think you can fill it. You have to buy a replacement bottle.

Edit: not sure why your pic wont attach. Its definately small enough

you'd have to find the refill canisters but i wouldn't even worry about it if it fires right up

I have tried to use the "Manage Attachments" button to attach a pic and when I toggle it the button "clicks" but nothing further happens. I also get the warning at the bottom saying "Error on page"...

What type of file, are you trying to attach?

file type?

 

[Harleighguy]

It's not the file type.... NOTHING happens when I try to open the Manage Attachments page, I can't select ANY pics to attach. The pic I have is JPEG. I cannot attach anything for some reason.

Javascript (Or whatever other junk is needed) Disabled?

PM Mangus580 with your problem.

There's the problem. It's not Sunday yet!!!
Looks like you can't post until the 19th according to the error code.

<just kidding>

But if you pass on this exacting error code as you posted it here to Mangus, along with an explanation you gave in a previous post, it will be very helpful to him and he can put a finger on it in a heartbeat.

On the classified, you have to have 5 posts first. Wonder if that applies to posting pics as well. Anyway, it appears to be a seperate server, or area of the same server creating the error codes, but Mangus should be able to resolve if not a default listing issue applicable to all.

How did you end up with such an odd sized picture?

The canisters have to be replaced...can't be refilled.
