Well, you know it’s fuel related. How old is your fuel line? They’re relatively cheap to replace. Fuel pump would be the next thing I’d check. BTW, don’t using starting fluid if your motor is a two stroke. It washes away the residual oil internally, which of course is vital in a two stroke.

I'm guessing a good carb cleaning is in order. Maybe that wake broke some debris free? Hard cold starting is often a sign of a dirty carb.
