Ether scares the hell out of me. I don't even want to have it around.

When I have a small engine that doesn't want to start (for example, first start of the season) about a thimble full of gasoline directly into the carb usually gets it going. Works much better if it is fresh gas, not gas that is 3 or 4 months old.

I have a small glass bottle which has a nozzle with a 90 degree elbow that I keep around for this purpose, so I can get the gas into the carb without rolling the mower on its side.
