Hi Alan
What Bob suggests is a good principle but if by starting fluid he means
ether (cold start as commonly used on reluctant diesels) I would not use
this as it beats diesel engine bearings to death and they are in general
stronger than petrol engines.
A method I have used is to put some (an egg cup full) of petrol into a
trigger bottle, the type that kitchen and bathroom cleaners come in. (Flash,
Jif, Mr Muscle) Then use that to "inject" a mist of petrol into the carb(s)
this will work on anything from a 1cyl mower to a multi cylinder car engine.
I guess there is a slight risk of a backfire causing a problem but I have
never had any trouble with this technique, and it is a lot more gentle than
ether!
Graham.

Hope this helps,
