You need to disconnect the gas line at the carburetor and see if there's a full stream of gas from the tank. Hold a clean container and catch the gas. If there's just a trickle of gas there's dirt or rust blocking the gas flow. If there's an inline filter you probably need to remove that if it's not for a gravity flow system.
Did you soak that carburetor in carb cleaner and clean all the jets? This is very important since this gas may have gummed up your carburetor inside and is blocking the gas flow to your engine.
Hold your hand over the throat of the carb and see if there's good suction on your hand while a helper make's an attempt to start the engine. If there's very little suction you may have a vacuum leak. You need good manifold vacuum to suck that fuel into the engine. Spray a little bit of that starting fluid around the intake manifold gasket between the engine and intake manifold while someone makes an attempt to start the engine. Be sure the ignition switch is in the on position and see if the engine fires. If it does your intake is leaking and may need tightening or replace the gasket. Hal PS: Don't use too much of that starting fluid as you can damage the engine.
