Starting fluid would be the easiest method to start it, but that is
really
tough on engines.

The starting fluid that I use says it has lubricant added to avoid damage
to
engines at startup. Wouldn't that help?

My understanding is starting fluid can cause extremely high combustion
chamber pressures. This can damage the head or rod or valves.


I have also been told that by some pretty competent mechanics. I think
aluminum heads would be most susceptable. I still use it on older cast iron
blocks and junk equipment.
