Thanks - bc I know in my heart that I'm gonna toast the thing if
I keep spraying starting fluid into the carb to start it.

Now I'm around to leaving gas in the tank all the time - albeit
maybe with some Stabil added - and just running it for N minutes
and shutting it off. That should get around the empty float
bowl or whatever it is that makes starting hard after being run
dry.
