We all know starting fluid/ether has no oil in it, and depending on who you talk to is either "not the best idea maybe" or "the worst thing ever". Yes, you can dump some mix down the throat, but that can be awkward depending on the saw (especially old reed valves).
I have a can of "fogging oil" I bought at local parts store years ago. It is intended to keep an iron cylinder from rusting if it's being put into storage and/or lubricate one that hasn't been used in a long time before cranking.
I have found that whatever propellant they use is flammable. And this stuff definitely has enough oil in it. I use it as "2-stroke starting fluid." The little red straw, in particular, makes it more convenient that dumping a splash of 2mix down the throat. I bought a can maybe 5 years ago, and I'm just about out.
Thought I'd pass along the tip. No, I don't work for them. I don't even remember what company makes it.
