Thats a good way to ruin a good engine. if nething get your some mixed gas in a squirt bottle and use that never use starting fluid

use only premixed fuel to spray into the carb. starter fluid removes the lubrication and burns tooo hot. it is time for carb cleaning and rebuild kits.

Actually, the best solution is to fix the engine so you don't have to resort to this procedure.
