    Running on the fluid probably means the ignition is OK, and the carb is not delivering fuel. Once you are done cleaning the carb, connect the fuel line before installing it on the engine with the high speed needle removed. Now connect the fuel line and pump the primer bulb, you should see fuel running out of the carb bowl. Doing this with the carb off will save time if there is a problem with the inlet needle/seat.
