    Did it try to start pop or anything when you spray fluid in it,
    And really I wouldn't spray starting fluid in it ,it could blow the head off.

    I would take a compression reading.
    Pull the valve cover and see if the valves are moving up and down.
    Is this by chance a 18 horse biggs and strattion engine.
