Why would you be spraying starter fluid here, cleaning?

If the spray gets in the throat of the mainfold then it would definitely
increase the rpm's. I guess it could seep into the manifold from where the
throttle cable attaches, especially if you soaked it real good.  Also if you
have the air cleaner off the spray can easily get into the throat.
