Will not start with out staring fluid

The starting fluid pretty much rules out anything electrical. It's possible that the choke is not working but then it would start after 2 hours simply by holding th gas pedal 1/2 way down. I suspect a "leakdown" problem letting the float bowl empty out.

Forget all that testing on the ignition side of things and concentrate on the fuel system.

I would put in a clear fuel filter so you can see that there's fuel staying up in the lines. Then find the screw plug that lets you inspect the Float level.

Or just do what I did and replace the Carburetor, Hoses and Filter and be done with it.
