Hi, Everyone newbie here. I just bought a Bobcat 530 for some dirt work that I need done it has 719 hrs. on the motor k582-S thy guy that I bought it from said he used it shut it off came back out the next day it had no spark. It sat for at least a year. After messing with wires, changed fuses cleaned the points I got it to fire. It will start with starter fluid or gas in the carb. but dies as soon as it burns it off. I was going to replace the carb and or the fuel pump. but can't seem to find anything close to them. Any suggestions on where to start or where to find them any help would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

Chances are that it just has a main jet plugged up with some of the deposits that the new corn gas leaves behind. Typical problem with small engines that sit for a while. I use a tip cleaner for a torch set to clean them out.
