Emptied the bottle and the motor lasted for 45 seconds after the NOS was all gone  Then it went!
End result-broke cam, 3 broke connecting rods, 1 rather large hole in case

My 57 bug fired up after i put a cup of gas in it and turned the engine. It hadn't been started for 31 years before that. It was used as a henhouse in a corner of a barn until the previous owner died and I bought it from his son. Can't kill an aircooled flat 4. Those things are marvels.
