Couple years ago, I got an ETQ, 1200 watt generator from Ebay. Cost
$140,
including freight to my door step. Weight about 55 pounds. The couple
times
I've used it, been worth every penny. I run mine dry, and it can be
challenging to restart. Someday, I'll drill a hole in the plastic
cover,
over the air filter. So I can spray a couple drops of ether on the air
filter.

I did exactly that with my Honda lawnmower, which is a great running
engine
but a cold-blooded starter. But it doesn't require ether in this case,
just
a small squirt of gasoline from an old Ronson lighter-fluid bottle, right
down the carburettor throat. Starts on the first pull every time, which
is
good for someone like me, with rotator-cuff tendonitis.

WD-40 makes the best starting fluid I have ever used ;)

As a matter of fact, I used that once on a neighbor kid's engine, a
horizontal-shaft B&S, because I didn't have anything else handy. I was
surprised that it worked, but it certainly did.
