Gettin it started

New here, but I am finally getting around to getting my 1984 CJ up and running, so I know I am going to be here pretty frequently.
So here is my problem. I have a jeep that used to run pretty well. I failed inspection for some brake issues, and let it sit for a while (1.5-2yrs). Now I am getting around to getting it fixed up. But now it wont start!
Step 1. I drained the gas and put a little bit of new in with some mystery oil stuff.
Step 2. I did an oil change.
Step 3 I used some quick start spray in the carb.
Now I get it to turn over, but not easily. It went though a bunch of backfires, but it is sounding better. It wont stay running though. It just dies out after about 3 secs.
Any thoughts?
I think my next step is going to be fuel filter.
