Ain't that cover held with 4 elastic straps?
I'd pull it off to make sure you got the spray into the throats instead of piling more than needed in there. Might need more than one or two shots, as much as I hate that stuff.
Be sure to remove/reinstall the upper and lower 1/4" tubing to the cover.

I remember hearing that you can use wd40 instead of ether for the same effect plus less harmful. Is that true?

We used to use WD-40 to start worn out old 2-smoke dirt bikes that had really low compression. The propellant worked like ether and the oil in it helped seal up the rings and boost compression.

I think they changed the propellant at some point and according to Wikipedia it is now CO2 so it would be useless as a starting fluid nowadays.
