YIKE!!! NO!!!!!!! DO NOT spray ether in the carbs. These are 2 stroke engines.. that means that on the intake cycle that ether is going into the crankcase of the engine, not into the cylinders. One spark and the entire engine blows up. IF YOU MUST resort to ether, unscrew a spark plug, squirt it into the hole then screw the plug back in and try starting it. That way the ether at least is in the cylinder where explosions are supposed to happen and not in the crankcase..
