Yep, starting fluid is designed to be used by both spark ignition AND compression ignition engines. A 2 stroke engine compresses the intake charge not once, but twice. Before the intake port opens into the cylinder, the piston going down is compressing the gasses inside the crankcase. And that crankcase pressure could get high enough to cause the starting fluid to ignite, and BOOM goes your block.
