you can try, it wont hurt anything. Not sure if it will work though, may not be quite flammable enough.

On what? Brake cleaner is a solvent and will knock the oil off of the walls of the combustion chamber, making it a dry start.

Carb Cleaner or actual starting fluid works better. Brake cleaner...maybe, depends on the chemical composition. Some of it is actually non-flammable and using that to try and start an engine will result in having to clean & dry the plugs...ask me how I know.
