Doubt it was ether. Ether in a warm running engine is likely to blow it up. The best ether injection systems allow a metered amount and are connected to a thermostat in the coolant that won't let it work if the coolant is hot.

There are thousands of engines started every day using ether that haven't suffered any ill effects at all. Excessive amounts and improper use of ether is what causes the problems,not using it as directed.
