WD-40 is not as potent as ether, but is pretty good, pretty flamable, and pretty explosive. It makes a pretty good substitute for ether as starting fluid. I've used it many times over the years for that exactly. Its a tip that I learned back in the '70's when dealing with old 4x4's setting in the fields behind barns for years and years.

I can speak to what does work from my experience and have never had a problem with ether or WD-40 in reasonable amounts.
