starting fluid.

alright yes shoot me ive used starting fluid in a blaster. i know a million people are going to blast me for that but anyway before ripping my seal out because my blaster was running away i had to use starting fluid to start it for it to run away. the history is that it started real easy and ran away then it gradually got harder and harder to start when i was chasin the leak and tryin everything. ive got the leak figured out i think but i wanna make sure there isnt more to it. im guessing its a fouled plug and just need a new plug? what you guys think? the plug was covered in gas/oil. the plug sparks but its not real consistent

For all
Starting fluid only requires a compression ratio of like 3:1 to fire
So your piston could be at 50 degrees before TDC and fire before the plug lights
Just something to think about

yea i know starting fluid is terrible. prolly my plug bein a pos. i only ran it with an air leak for a total of maybe like 30 seconds between all of those starts so i never really ran it on starting fluid or when it was lean. im just asking general questions about it really. im a little discouraged on this thing. it did start on fuel only at a point. i just used starting fluid the last time because it wouldnt fire and i thought i had the leak fixed. anyway leak wasnt fixed now it is i think. friday ill get a new plug and try her out
