1991 M923A2 6CTA8.3 that doesn't like to start in cold weather.
My 3rd winter with this truck and I finally found someone that had an ether bottle in stock. KAT 33118.
When I pulled the old one out the rubber gasket was stuck to it and fell on ground. I found it but it's pretty dry and I'd say shot. I've spent a couple days trying to find a new gasket. Of course nobody stocks them and most of the places I've called have no clue what I'm talking about. I think I tracked down the part number to KAT 33119. I've only found a couple places online but they want to sell you a whole bag of them. Turns out NAPA does sell them even though 2 stores told me they don't. 69 cents. I convinced a guy at NAPA to order some but he said it would take a few days.
I need to move the truck tomorrow. I hate to screw a $50 bottle on with a bad gasket and it leak out. If the gasket doesn't seal can I unscrew bottle and it seals up like a propane bottle does? BTW, does anyone have a source for the gaskets in case NAPA falls through?
