Running on starting fluid down the plug hole indicated correct spark timing
Running on starter fluid sprayed into the carb indicated ok valve timing
Doing both but not running on it's own fuel usually indicated a stuck / broken solenoid on the carb or blocked fuel inlet .

Check the afterfire solenoid in the carb.
X2 on the afterfire solenoid if equipped, but I would check for power going to it.
You should hear an audible click too when the key is turned to the On position

not likely, but you also need power going to it for it to work.
