If your car or mower or snow mobile or snow blower doesn't start well in cold
weather, there is always the old standby...
Starting Fluid.
A can of pressurized ETHER.
Almost ANY engine cannot help but start when ETHER is put into the cylinders.
Any carbureted engine will start (if it would run when it is warm out!) if you spray
ETHER into the carb. "Starting Fluid" is sold almost anywhere.
Now - a truly fuel injected engine (which the Geo is not) has nowhere to squirt
in any Ether - but then again, I have never seen a truly fuel injected engine not start
in cold weather!
I hear that is is not good to use ETHER to start an engine...I but I don't give a big rats
buttocks when I have to get to work and the engine doesn't want to turn over...
So - keep a can of Starting Fluid in the Geo Metro's back end and if it is so cold out
that it won't start, spray Starting Fluid into the air intake and I'd bet you'll be
driving very soon thereafter.
I bet they use Starting Fluid up there in Alaska or at the poles.
Don't break your back trying to start some mower or chain saw or snow thrower
by pulling the cord until you have a Heart Attack -use Starting Fluid to good advantage.
