car won't stay running!

as the topic says, the car will start with starting fluid ,but die! i have confirmed the car is getting fuel cause the carb sprays gas when i manually open the throttle. one time i got the car to stay running for awhile, but i constantly had to pump the gas and if i held the pedal down it would die! i pulled the fuse hose and the fuel pump is pumping. this is my first time messing with carburated rotary cars so i have no clue what is going on. the only i do know i have while cranking is fuel,spark and compression. maybe it could be a funky electrical problem?
