the sub-zero start assist system does not work, just leave it out and block off the injector.

+1.. There was a TSB on this actually. It told dealerships to remove said system because it was worthless.

I'll pay for shipping if you send it to me... I want to use the bottle for something else.

When I parted out my first '86, the sub zero system was not only intact, but still full of fluid from god knows when! I still have it in my garage...haha.

yea, i also have a mostly-full sub-zero bottle and pump from the P.O. (or someone before that). I may use it for 2-stroke oil for the OMP, I havent decided yet.
