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. It evaporates much more slowly and the vapor trail, if ignited can follow it to the sprayer. Don’t use gasoline! The horror stories about starter spray are generally unfounded unless you spray a bunch in.
What happens if you spray fuel into the air intake?

If the engine starts, it won’t run long without fuel and it may not continue running once the starter fluid burns up if it has fuel but a weak spark.
