WOW! That seems like it would be just a little dangerous. If acetylene was left on a little to long before starting and worked its way through the ports and into the crankcase there just might be a big bang! |

I have seen ether bottles on generators to help start them in cold climates. But Acetylene?? I wonder if they had equipment self destruct using this system. |
