I think it's an acceptable way of determining if it is an electrical or carb problem. If it pops (and maybe even runs a few seconds) on the ether, it is probably not an electrical problem. If it won't even pop on the ether there is probably no spark (or spark at the wrong time).

I know some are dead set against the use of starting fluid...especially in diesels...but I believe it's a good diagnostic tool in small doses.
