I've poured a little fuel into
carb and she fires right up.

When you say "fired right up", does that mean that it fires and runs for a
few seconds while it burns off the fuel you poured in, or it fires and keeps
running?

If it keeps running then the problem isn't a stuck float or similar fuel
delivery problem. It could be the choke, or it could actually be a weak
spark situation.
