Yeah starting fluid is just a bad bad idea poor practice.. motor fires hard and blows the reeds the wrong way with a backfire, metal fatigue and then one day the motor may/will suck a reed through the intake. Best case is the reeds just won't seat properly and you'll replace them before you suck em. Stariting fluid is just a bad idea. PERIOD. Sounds like a weak starter/cables/arm here easy enough to fix w/o ether.
