You can just spray some starting fluid on the air filter.

Fuel in the oil can cause the bearings to go bad. The fuel thins out the oil a lot. I wouldn't recommend running it at all without changing the oil.

Or remove the air filter and just squirt some gasoline into the intake, using a pump oil can.

Neither would I. And probably would consider either an engine overhaul or a swap if it was the case to keep the vehicle for a long term.
