Clare,

(assuming you are
getting spark - - -


It starts with starting fluid. Spark isn't the problem.

I've been caught that way before. Takes a whole lot less spark to
light starting fluid than gasoline.. But yes, if it runs on starting
fluif it most likely has spark.

Better than 90% chance it has a blocked fuel jet in the carb.
