It's OK to spray ether on the air filter. So that only vapor goes
into the cylinder.

If you spray ether into the cylinder, it dries out the cylinder
wall, and the generator becomes a very expensive chunk of scrap.
My Dad had this done for him, or done to him, by a "helpful"
neighbor.

In the box with my generator, I have a quart of Castrol 10W30 oil
(Castrol is my favorite brand). And a spray can of ether.

Ether? I'm not a huge fan of the magic juice, but if I needed
to get
the generator started, it would come out quickly. Bonus!, you
could
use up the tired gas, once it was started, I'll bet it would
run on it
ok.
