Brilliant like everyone else I could not get my Quad tyre to seal, tried started fluid all it did was burn, then found this site, and a kick, to exciter the air, worked PERFECTLY thank youy
My journey started with new tires and like new wheels and an appointment to Discount Tire at 4PM (bad idea). I received a destroyed new tire and severely damaged wheel. My journey ends with another new tire I installed myself this time and filled by following your video. Thanks!
Thank you! I was trying to do a small gocart tire and couldn't get it to seat for the life of me, and the starting fluid wasn't going off, was just burning. I tried kicking it but that didn't work either, then I copied you exactly: You had the air going too. That plus the starting fluid and boom! YAAAA!
This just worked for me when no other method would. Front tire of an 86 Honda 250r 3 wheeler would not even get close to seating. Gaps large you could see right through. This (plus the ratchet strap around the center of the tire) worked beautifully. Took a few attempts, but worked. Thank you!
Good deal! I have a couple of Honda three wheelers but just the little 200cc Big Reds.
Excellent execution saved my butt many times with that old trick
Thank you for posting this!
I was at my wits end trying to get a tire seated and almost gave up. I saw your video and gave it a try.
Worked like a charm!
Thanks
Me too!!!!
Saved me a lot of time and headache with this video.
Remember to keep your fingers clear of the rim bead area as the pressure the exploding gas exerts to the bead will squish your fingers. I like the explosion sound and the "ping" sound (bead slapping against the rim), almost like a ricochet.
And, a comedian , too ! You did great!
Just did it today...man it saved alot of f ing around.
I use a straw extension on the ether can to spray less than a second INSIDE the tire cavity, then use a butane torch with a long nozzle extension to ignite. Valve core removed and open, no attachment. No flame excess.
This is the best method by far. I sprayed some body deodorant in the tyre and worked a charm.

you're welcome
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. God bless you sir. "The kick method" is what I will call this when I teach to some1 I need. Been at it for HOURS before finding this
Some people call it 'Shotgunning' since you don't always have to kick to make it work.
"Please don't do this dangerous method even though it's how everybody has been doing it since Henry Ford was a boy."
Yep, got to have that disclaimer!
I've done this many times myself but I had to try several different brands of starting fluid before I got one that worked good. Now that the can's been sitting around a year or so, it doesn't seem as potent. Ended up using my cheetah tank instead a few times, but that's not always foolproof either. Never knew about the trick to hit it or kick it, or even thought to try that. Now I'm going nuts wanting to know the science behind how this helps it go... lol
I think it’s the sudden charge/movement of oxygen that helps the combustion. Many times when I don’t kick em, the starting fluid burns too slow to inflate the tire onto the bead. Try it out, it works!
I just experienced that. I used a can of good starting fluid worked like a charm first try. The off brand took over 5 tries. Stuff just burns.
It's due to the rapid expansion of the air from the heat. That's why you have to have the hose going it will contract as it cools and can pull the tire right back off
@@guttermonkeytv what's due to the rapid expansion? I was wondering why kicking it helps it finally go bang lol
@@leesluga9994 I see what you're saying now, read it wrong the first time. Thought you were asking why the ether trick works
i have done that thousands of times even on lawn tractor tires, but note: if using the true quick start, dont use as much as copy cat off brands that dont even start an engine, as it is very poor stuff, you never have to kick a tire when using true name brand quick start,, Canada tire starting fluid is the wost crap going.. if you dont have qick start use a 50/50 mix of oxy/acct.
Way back when I was in school, I never had to kick a tire to excite the air to make it explode. Starting fluid isn't as potent these days.
Love kick technique. The few times a failed for me. I put out fire if any and respray.
Thanks for the content. I need to fix my scooter tire
Thanks and God bless you for your helpful how to...video.
Thank you so much, I’m going to try this tomorrow!
I've done this twice ... However I didn't know kicking it would help like that ...lol . Wish I knew that yesterday I wasted the little bit of fluid I had left
I've had to do light her up twice because the tire didn't seat well and it leaked. So yeah I had to break the bead again clean the bead and the rim and light her up again. Its scary initially but when you do it a few times you can become quite comfortable with the whole pop and operation. .
I do this every other week
Cool, You didnt use a half can like people ive seen in my lifetime. Boom! Lol
I used to do it like that for alot of years but now i have a coats tire machine that does it right on the machine
*_That was cool!_*
To hell with the disclaimer, I'm doing this just for shits & giggles....
I just used this technique last week mounting a set of 10 ply trailer tires. If you can get over the fear of the “pop”, it’s a fast and effective way of mounting stubborn tires!
Like a pro
Good job sir
Thanks!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome. Be careful.
@@Tomsfoolery. I got it done thanks to your video
@@jvanarsdale04 awesome! Good to hear.
Instructions unclear, shop disappeared...
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Did you take out the valve stem and if you did did it do any damage

Stupid question...all the ether should burn out of there when it ignites right? Still get the smell coming out of the tire, was slightly worried about it...
It should. No need to worry about the fire within the tire because it will extinguish itself due to lack of oxygen.
I can't get a set of ATV tires to pop on the bead, it's not a matter of getting air it just won't pop over the lip on the one side, as it's a single bead lock, this will work for me right????? I'm so frustrated with the whole thing
I watched this just four kicks.
Can this damage tpms sensors?
Yes it definitely could, not gonna lie lol
Burned my lawn mower trying this the 💁🏻♂️
You forgot to say what is happening to make this work.
Como se llama el líquido q usaste nombre en español 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Okay....but why does it work?
On the ninth kick the tire exploded as loud as a gunshot and jumped 3 feet in the air. The tire came off of the rim on one completely destroying the tire and the air conpresser hose in the process.
Needless to say I won't be trying this again.
😂😂😂
Just when I was ready to try this...but I don't have running air either.
the tire shouldnt pop dude you probably put too much starting fluid
Another trick is to put a ratchet strap around the center of the tread pattern.
Which is NOT working on the 24" ATV tires I'm trying to mount. Onward and upward to starting fluid.
That method has worked for me one time.
@@ddbutikofer825 apparently the trick is to kick them just after you ignite the starting fluid. i think this caused some of the flame to lick out and find the air, forcing the air to rush inwards as the explosion starts to form.
@@ddbutikofer825 you could try to make , borrow one of those high flow inflation tanks . you need a reservoir and a large ball valve. you need some squished pipe of large diameter to suit the large ball valve, usually you weld a small tab just back from the squished tube, this is to hold against the rim. once the air tank is full (via a schroder valve) you position the flat partially squished tube so it fires into the gap between the tyre and rim and crank open the ball valve when ready, all of the air suddenly rushes out into the wheel and pops the tyre on. Something to have if yu do tricky tyres. most tyre/tire garages have them. Also, make sure the tyres are warm if it's cold out, bring them in over night.
I did this and it shot the wheel thru my neighbors window
😂😂
