    Four stroke engines[edit]
    Starting fluid is sprayed into the engine intake near the air filter, or into the carburetor bore or a spark plug hole of an engine to get added fuel to the combustion cylinder quickly. Using starting fluid to get the engine running faster avoids wear to starters and fatigue to one's arm with pull start engines, especially on rarely used machines.

    rarely used pull start machines... that's why I cant start mine.

    I rarely use the pull start.or is it not a diesel, that's what I put in the tank its cheaper............
    Four good strokes usually does it - gets her going, that is.
