Do you know that at idle speed, your slides are almost completely down and your butterflies barely open, letting in little air?
If your choke is not adjusted properly and already causing a rich condition at idle speed, adding ether may cause it to be even richer and stall.
Some starting fluid instruction say not to use on a running engine, however a short burst with the engine speed up will not hurt it.
You've done your test on your boots and found you have no more leaks. I would move on to correctly adjusting the choke lever.
