If it starts & runs on starting fluid, you have a fuel delivery issue. Gasoline ain't making it to past the jets or even the float bowl.
Check stuff in this order
1. Fuel in tank
2. If applicable, is petcock valve open & does fuel flow through it?
3. Fuel in float bowl? If not, then pull carb & clean seat & valve
4. If you have fuel in bowl, does your spark plug get wet with gasoline while cranking? If not, then pull carb & pull jets out & thoroughly clean them.
5. It may sound too redundant, but it may take more than one cleaning.
6. Fire it up

I know you said you replaced carb, but even new ones can get plugged up immediately, some even have dry silicon granules in them that must be removed prior to service.
If you know not how to clean jets or the needle seat & valve, there are plenty of good videos on YouTube that walk you through each step.

7. Report back all results

The jets must be so clean, you can see daylight through all orifices & down the center. Make sure you put an inline filter between carb & fuel tank, that'll help

Finally figured it out...New carb was defective. Not letting gas in. What a pain. Smoked 2 batteries and had this thing completely torn apart. Be wary of those 16 dollar carbs for these on eBay. They can have u chasing your tail. Thanks for all the help everybody.

Post 9 said you replaced the carb. So you had two bad carbs? Or did you open the new one and clean it out and/or free the stuck float?

I've had good luck so far on those ebay carbs, knock on wood

Ah, then I bet if you R&R the other new one, it will be fine. Before you get it all put back together, I would try that first, and if it works, then you have a good spare.
