Probably varnish in the case containing the mixture.

Probably varnish in the case containing the mixture.

Well if it only starts with starting fluid then dies it's obviously not getting fuel. The carb has lots of tiny passages that can get plugged with varnish if it sat with fuel in it for any length of time. You definately have a fuel problem. I suspect the problem is in the carb.
