Only because I don't keep that stuff around. Now I have vague, vague, vague recollections of threads on other forums where starter fluid somehow got between the rings and cylinder walls, or something else happened, and it ended up doing more harm than good.
Don't quote me on that. If I was ridiculously fanatical about it, I would pull the distributor, spin the pump counter-clockwise with my drill, put the distributor back in, fill the bowls up through the vents with a measured amount of fresh gas, and then spritz a bit down the top before I fired it up... but I don't. C'mon, FEs are really "war horses" in disguise. My FE will still be pulling out stumps long after I'm pushing them up.
