So, while you had the air filter off you shot some ether in to see if it would start and die ?

UPDATE: Turns out I do have some starter fluid, but yesterday it got up to 65º F, and the mower started right up with just gasoline. I had the air filter off, and it was dirty, so I'll clean it and see if the engine runs with a clean filter. Could be I put too much oil in the sponge last summer. Any rule of thumb on how much to use?
