I found the opposite when I was looking.....sod's law me thinks Well obviously........ I guess the best way is to stop looking, then loads will show up (and sell the day before I see them advertised!). I'm not in a huge rush - plenty life in mine yet (although starting problem I've discussed on here before still has me stumped but as long as I have my spraycan of fairy dust its fine!). I don't want to go down the Suzuki Carry route so hoping there's another Rascarry out there with my name on it! |

Basically its an aerosol can of ether. You just spray a little into the air intake. As ether is far more flammable than even petrol, the engine will start. Its generally used for old diesels especially old tractors and in sub-arctic conditions, but works a treat on any engine.
I've ripped most of my hair out over my starting problem. Replaced almost everything except the carb - still no improvement. God knows how much the carb is (as its a later jap built Suzuki Rascal the carb is way more complex than the standard Rascal carb due to extra emissions stuff) - if I can get one - but a can of Easistart is £4.50! I hang my head in shame for not being able to fix it but the Easistart gets me going.
(.....and gets you nutted if you breathe in too much of it!!!)

The other side of the easy start coin, That stuff is deadly with protracted use on diesel's, as I know to my cost, and won't have it anywhere near my motors  |

General consensus is that it is totally harmless. (apart from its premature ignition can cause damage to diesel injectors IF used when no fuel is present - but only on injectors that are lubed by the fuel itself) |

In laymans terms, the engine, or it's starting sequence, tends to rely on the stuff, addicted is the term.

Thats just folklore mate - utter nonsense. What actually happens is that the owner relys on the stuff, doesn't fix the original problem, which in time gets worse, so it becomes even harder to start without it. |
