Starting fluid's not just for diesels, it works real good with potato guns!

pop every third or fourth turn, but thats it.  Over the course of an entire
day of trying to start it, I probably go through half a can of starting
fluid.  As we all know, you never really get it all in anyway, so I know
that much didn't go through the system.  And I could get it to "run" if I
pumped the gas as fast as I could and turned it over, that and it would pop
every thried to fourth turn, so its not like the starting fluid filled all
the  cylinders and stayed there.

so I pulled one and it was covered in carbon, which obviously isn't created
when starting fluid burns and I wire brushed the plug and it appeared to be
in perfect condition.  He also says that starting fluid is only for diesels.
