I use chemtool, any brand will work. It sounds like your needle valve is the problem. Where it seats" to cut off fuel must be gummed up, or worn. I have had the tank run dry because the needle couldn't shut gas off.

Try this, put a shutoff between the tank and fuel bowl. Shut gas off, let everything dry out. Then let just a trikle of gas through the cutoff. This may allow you to get it started.
Good luck.
