Remove the air cleaner to get to top to carb and throttle linkage. With eye protection, observe while holding the choke open, to see if fuel sprays into the intake when you move the throttle. If no fuel is seen, then you have a fuel pump or filter malfunction. If fuel is seen, then check for proper choke operation. Do/does the choke butterflies, or butterfly close when you open the the throttle. This needs to happen when the engine is cold.

Fuel filter or fuel pump comes to mind.

Caburater is full of oil fiat palio 1.2 what can be a problem

It's sucked the oil up the breather tube. Something maybe blocked where the air has to enter the engine.

After putting gas in the car started running rough and is chockin

It wouldn't hurt to change the filter, but it sounds like you got a bad batch of gas, if it was running good before you got gas.
Get a bottle of dry gas and put it in the tank, if there is any water in the gas, that will clear it out, also it wouldn't hurt to put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the tank, I use that stuff all the time to keep the fuel system clean.

98 buick car runs great untill i put gas

Sounds like water in fuel tank. Try putting some gasline antifreeze in, (maybe a couple of bottles) will clear up water and problem if that's it.

After running out of gas wont start

after you put gas in it did you prime the system?

when the gas runs out it drains the fuel lines, so after you put gas in the tank you will need to prime the system. To do this turn the key on to run but don't crank the starter and count to three, then key off and out. Do that three to four times and that should take care of getting gas to the engine.

Make sure you can hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the key on. Sometimes when you run low on gas it can overheat the fuel pump causing it to fail.
