One last thing to add in case somebody reads this all and gets thinking "Hey, the guys said ether is okay.

If you've got a 2 stroke KEEP AWAY FROM THE STARTING FLUID! There ain't no dang lubrication in that stuff.
I've seen guys start a snowmobile on ether and keep it running by shooting little bursts into the carb until the fuel pump caught up. I've seen snowmobile engine sieze right up doing that...
Now this is not to say I haven't done it myself, some of those old single cylinder machines will rip your arm right off and a little ether makes the job alot easier but the first thing I do is shoot in a little PB blaster to lubricate things. The better way to do it is to get a can of premix and shoot that in so everything gets lubricated properly.
