Murf,

That WD40 tip for starting a tractor was interesting and got me thinking of another application, but I have some questions. I seem to remember that some years ago they may have used propane for the propellant. As a result of which someone exploded a can and of course a big liability suit.

So now when I went to their site they say the propellant is CO2.

I was amazed a couple of years ago how useful WD40 is when my kids melted some crayons into the carpet of our then new car by dropping them in front of the rear heat ducts. Sprayed it with WD40 and it dissolved it with no damage to the carpet or the carpet backing.

Anyway, do you think the current version has the same engine starting characteristics? Then I was thinking I have an old hard to start Stihl chain saw, would your WD40 advice work on that ?
