If it has a carb and starts and runs, insufficient choke. Starter fluid, or a mix of heptane and ether, will ignite with a very weak spark. (OK, so not NO spark) Weaker than used to fire gasoline.

Can You Spray starter spray into air intake?
I would not use gasoline, use starter spray, it evaporates more readily and it will start the engine if only for a moment. Gas will puddle.

The horror stories about starter spray are generally unfounded unless you spray a bunch in.
Can a car cold start without starting fluid?
Cold: just cranks, no start. Cold could be anywhere from 80f-50f ambient so far. So to start it cold I take the air filter off, shoot on shot of starting fluid in it and it starts up and runs perfectly. Anyone want to guess why this is? Thank you so much for any help you can give.
