You'd be better to use some gas in a spray bottle. I don't think Carb Cleaner will ignite like Starter Fluid.

In order to get anything into the intake you need to open the throttle and manually lift the slides - if you don't, whatever you spray doesn't make it into the intake.

Ducatiman will tell you that Starter Fluid is bad for the Ninja's slides, so be sure to lift them out of the way before spraying if you use it.

All you are looking for is some sign of life. That tells you that your problems come from inadequate or improper fuel metering.

Be sure to charge the battery, and check it with a volt meter to make sure it's holding proper voltage. You should see over 12.7V before cranking and over 10V while cranking. If you don't have that you'll never get it to run properly.
