Ether Start Paperwork

[Recovry4x4]

Hey gang, I've had a few trucks with the ethere start on them. Does anyone have any paperwork associated with the install of same? Looking for TMs, TB,s MWOs, FMs or even a PS article. The one complete kit I had, I sold like a fool, even had the correct data plate to replace the flame heater data plate.

Kenny, I posted the same question on several forums some time ago and got no response.
Here are the basic components (got these from Bruce at Aberdeen last year). In the image you'll see the ether canister, metering solenoid with the nozzle, 20F switch and a wiring piece. The switch is the same as the flame heater switch, only the tag is different as you mentioned.
In operation, holding the switch on triggers a 6cc shot of ether into the intake manifold adapter and it will only work when the temp is below 20F with the temp switch installed and while cranking the engine.
There is another wiring harness included also, which I guess disables the system when the engine is not turned over, but the basic operation is as described above.

PS. The background is the bed of the pipeline truck, now about 10 months old.

I've got good new's on this I just bought a ether start kit from the military's contractor "Quick Start Products and Solutions, Inc"

I'll have the kit tuesday or wednesday so if you guy's can hold on I'll
scan the Installation instructions and post pic's of the kit plus get the part numbers sound good.

This makes me think of an interesting thought. If it was such a big deal to use the flame heater only when cranking, why was the power for the switch not provided from the starter button? (oh wait, answered my own question..... supposed to use it while running too huh?)

I would certainly appreciate those instructions, Jed. Did you also get a wiring harness, probably not, huh?

[red devils dude]

tomorrow.

Excellent find Jed! Once you get everything sorted, we need a really detailed pic of the instructions. Did you also get the dash data plate that replaces the flame heater data plate?

 

[red devils dude]

yes I did get the data plate, I'll post the number for the kit and the companies contact too and I'll make up a tech article.

detailed pic of the instructions is uploading in the Techincal Manuals section and I'm working on a tech article.
