If we know it is not failing to start due to cold... then why would we not go for something like fuel or compression first ?
I say a 3-5 second shot of starter spray into the air cleaner inlet while the starter is cranking is the next logical cheap fast thing to try...
and NO, it does not have enough btu's to hurt the engine or wash the cylinder walls ( it is gas not liquid )....
This may show that fuel is the problem...
