starting fluid, very detrimental?

ether very hard on rings! un timed un controlled explosions in side of a engine ant a good thing either!! i always keept a can to seat the bead on truck tires back when id change them out my self on fuel island, but quit doing that years ago,..tire men need to eat too...need help getting one to crank use wd40 or brake clean or just fill the bowl of the carb with good ol fashioned gasoline, youd be surprized how well that works....DWB
