First of all stop spraying ether into your carb to get it to run. Unless you want premature ring and piston wall wear. Use a good carb cleaner which is really an alternative fuel in reality. It won't harm your engine when you use it. Secondly, you need to find out why gas isn't making it to the combustion chamber. Do you have fuel injection? It could be a myriad of things, so start at the fuel tank and go forward from there.

If you have fuel injection, should hear the gas line pressurize when you turn the key. All 07 electro glides wereEFI (Looking at your bike pic). If you have a fuel pump problem, start there. I assume you have battery power and your starter is firing up.
