Never use starting fluid on a 2 stroke motor, the oil is mixed with the gas and when using starting fluid there is NO lubrication on the cylinder walls. Which will cause it to lean seize.

What ratio did you you use for our premix, I typically run 40:1, which is rich but I am also beating the crap out of mine every time I drive it, and my motor is modded like mad.

Run a compression test if its below 110 it prob wont run, will need a hone at a minimum. Also how did it run before switching? Check the pulse line from the crankcase o the fuel pump and make sure your getting a pulse when the engine is turning over.

Also if there is oil residue behind your primary clutch you have bad crank seals and this will make the engine possibly not run.
