Are these thumpers ok w/ starting fluid.......in the engine that is.
Yes, there are more uses for starting fluid than airing up tubeless tires
I'm from the old school,.....in that if it don't start, ee-ther that sucker ! If it still don't start, fix it !

Very small burst. Once. Stand back when you hit the button, your airbox is going to be a bomb if it backfires. And it likely will. WD-40 is a safer bet, contains propane and the oil won't harm the carb boots like ether will.
I've used a syringe a couple times to direct soot some gas through the spark plug hole.

I used the WD-40 trick about a month ago when I was getting my wife's scoot back up and running after not being started for 2 years. Found a cracked vac line and she purrs just fine now
