154 Lowboy running troubles?

This is a frined of mine that has 154 lowboy and he is having trouble keeping it running or run period. Since it started on starter fluid, ran and then died, I believe this means that he has a fuel/air mixture problem in his carb. What do you guys think? I have attached his last email to me below.

Went home today and figured I might as well try to start that piece of stuff one more time, so I did I just put some starter fluid in it and it started right up! So I mowed the yard for about 15minutes and went to gas it up so I shut it off and now the COC?$; thing won't start again! It was acting like it wanted to it was almost started chuging and everthing and then it won't even act like it wants to start anymore. The spark isn't all that strong either. Do you think that I should go head and buy a 12 volt ignition coil? Is it bad for it if you put a 12 in and it calls for a 6volt. I don't know what it calls for or know what is in it now. But I know that it gets really hot! Just wanted to let you know. I am almost ready to put a rag in it and let er go!!
