Arrrrgggghhhh.....where did you get your mechanics training, Disney World ??? :roll:
Seriously, if you don't have actual knowledge of a given subject, you should NOT GUESS. That can sometimes be dangerous. :shocked:
I haven't read the label instructions lately but I'm REAL sure that squirting it into the cylinder directly through a plug hole is NOT one of the suggested uses.
Starting fluid usually is ether. HIGHLY volitile. It is intended to be used by spraying a small amount, like a 1 sec. spray, into the AIR CLEANER......with everything assembled in working order. Then you try to start it as normal.
It will sometimes "help" the engine run if it isn't getting enough fuel via the normal channel. If your timing is good enough, you can repeat little sprays and keep the engine running for a while........a SHORT while, like 30 seconds or less, during which time you hope the "regular" process takes over and it runs on it's own.
