NOTE: Engine has some type of switch connected to throttle that drops a metal tab that makes a connection to metal surface, may be associated with a kill switch ?
Thoughts on why engine will not stay going?

If it tries to start on starting fluid then it's not a kill switch issue. Sounds like it's not getting fuel. The carb probably needs to be cleaned out or rebuilt. The ethanol in the gas today is very corrosive when it sits in the carb all winter.
