the reason you don't want to use it is because there is no lubricating oil in the fluid, beyond that, starting fluid will spark knock and pre-detonate sometimes. I use it as a diagnostic tool, unusually low compression motors will start on starting fluid, but wont run on gas. I usually use premixed gas in a spray bottle to get an engine to start, but sometimes when the rings are stuck or they have rust on the valves, it doesn't have enough compression to light off on gas. I hit it with the fluid and once it fires up, it will keep running. If you use a bunch of starting fluid upon start up on a 2 cycle, you are running the engine without lube, it can cause bearing damage and cylinder scoring. If your blower didn't run before, but would run on starting fluid, sounds like it was worn out or needed work before using the starting fluid.
