If it's running on starter fluid, and then dies, the problem is almost
certainly that it's not getting fuel. I'd start by pulling the fuel line at
the carbs to see if fuel is getting that far; if so then the problem is
likely stuck float valves or gunk in the jets.
Somehow the latest changes in fuel composition have made it much more likely
to clog things up. I had exactly the same problem on the lawnmower, and had
to literally chip the hard, white deposits out of the jet. Carb cleaner
wouldn't touch them. I've heard similar stories from others.
