Like said before check the Chinese section on this site. To get you started though it sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Many have had this issue.

Drain fuel tank and remove the hose between the injector pump and the fuel bowl. There is a screen in there. Also remove the fuel shut off and fuel bowl, there is a screen where the shut off is threaded into the tank. 9 times out of 10 its this. Clean the tank and put it all back together, use the primer pump on the injector pump to get the fuel up to the filter, and crank. If it will not start take each injector hard line loose at the injector while cranking to bleed the air out.

The first thing I would do is STOP using the starting fluid, then go through the fuel lines to clear the obstruction. If you do compression test, squirt some oil in each cylinder, they will be dry after using starting fluid and affect the readings.
