Good morning my name is Roy and I will assist.

You need three things for it to run. Spark, fuel pressure and compression.

Try spraying some carburetor cleaner into the air filter and see if it starts and stalls.

Also, is the battery working?

Okay, then try the starting fluid and see if it starts and stalls. That will tell us it is a fuel delivery issue.
