Has anyone used that "quick start" stuff in a spray can -- the ether
you spray right into the in filter? Works fine on cars and outboards,
probably would work on a/c engines too. Still, having oil too think to
flow would do the engine harm.

You wanna spray *ether* into your $40,000 Lycoming/Conti?

I'd do some *serious* research on that first.

I agree.
IMHE, ether works well in older diesel engines (without glow plugs) when
used correctly and sparingly WHILE cranking (which usually means a two
person job or a remote controlled system plumbed into the manifold).
However ether is very drying and will remove the oil film on the cylinder
walls of engines using dry fuel like gasoline unless mixed with 2 stroke
oil. This drying can cause increased cranking resistance and slower
cranking. It can also cause severe detonation especially if used to excess.
Be very careful if engine is turbo or supercharged.

Good luck,
