You old fogey. Carburetor? I haven't seen one of those in years. All the cool kids have fuel-injection, or diesel, or both.
Yes, I have pulled the choke open and sprayed ether down the throat of the carburetor to get a car to start. I've even dipped my fingers in gasoline and flicked it to prime the carb when I didn't have a can of ether handy. But not in a number of years.
