Remove plugs on bottom of carburetor bowls ( one on each ) and see if there is fuel in them.

Never use starting fluid on a two stroke it will wash the oil off the bearings and do damage.

Thanks I will check for fuel and remove plugs Sunday. I completely forget about never using starting fluid. Thanks
