Your carb is gunked up internally and not letting gas into the engine. When ether keeps it running, you have a fuel delivery problem.
The carb will have to removed and thoroughly cleaned, paying particular attention to all the tiny orifices inside.

Sediment from the bottom of the tank could be blocking your fuel filter. Replace your fuel filter.

Gas that sits too long won't fire easily that's why we have to add winterize to our lawn mowers!
Try filling the tank with some high grade fuel cleaner additive. This stuff is like rocket fuel (about $10).
Also add a can of dry gas as you may have a lot of water and water vapor in your system!
Get a couple more cans of starter fluid too. (I always needed at least two to get my diesel running for summer)
Keep spraying and starting (It always took me at least a full can sometimes 2)
When it starts keep the gas pedal down and rev high for a good 5-10 minutes then see if it will idle.
If it still stumbles and falls consider adding another can of fuel system cleaner and/or dry gas.
Don't drain the tank as this usually just makes it worse by letting the bottom sludge stir up.
Never let your gas tank get too low as this will foul up your fuel system and always add fuel cleaner after every oil change (a must for fuel injection and cat. converter care)
Good Luck!

hi. that sounds like the fuel sender unit, situated in the fuel tank! take off the fuel lines to the initial carb and try to start the engine! fuel should flow out! if not the the PUMP/SENDER UNIT is at fault.
