How can I start a DD Series 60 if I run out of fuel?

[Rick]

Eric, my method, just used recently on a series 60. Takes 2 people. Remove a
fitting on the intake manifold. An easy one to remove is a sensor, on top, close
to rear of the bird. This leaves you with a 1/2 inch hole. While someone turns
the key from the rear ignition switch first,(easier from the rear to coordinate)
spray ether from a can into the intake manifold. Short bursts of from 1 to 2
seconds waiting 2-3 seconds in between. She will fire right off. Time the bursts
to keep it running about 20- 30 seconds, this will allow the fuel pump time to
reprime the lines and get her going. Of course be sure the filters, whatever
kind you have are fully primed first. Then, when she is running, quickly, set
the fast idle on and let it run for 5 minutes before stopping.

event that I should run it out of fuel? Is this when I should use the ether
injection system???
