Because the carb is flooding - starting fluid (ether) dries up the piston and lets it fire - too much ether can damage your piston because it can strip it right dry

Where do you put starting fluid into a toro snowthrower?

To use starting fluid on a Toro snowthrower, locate the air intake. Remove the air filter cover and spray a small amount of starting fluid directly into the air intake or onto the air filter. Reattach the cover and attempt to start the snowthrower. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and use starting fluid sparingly to avoid potential engine damage.

How long does it take till you can start after engine flooding?

There are a lot of variables that determine the amount of time you need to wait. * Condition of fuel is one of the more serious potential problems, with older fuel taking much longer to clear out and presenting a greater potential for flooding. * Poor engine compression will also make flooding into a much worse problem. * As will a weak ignition system In general, most injected (EFI) engines do not "flood" unless something is wrong with one or more injectors. Once you've discovered which has caused the problem, try a little starting fluid. The ether in the starting fluid is so much more volatile that it will often start the engine even if other problems exist, and of course, once the engine starts, even with the starting fluid, it will clear out the flooding problem.
