ok, well here is what we did. Hubby decided he wanted to change out spark plug, carb and fuel pump. So we did all that. It still didn't start. We tried to spray the carb cleaner where you said and it didn't seem like it sounded any different. Then with it jacked up hubby took off the belt and kept pushing the pedal while using his hand to choke the carb where it comes out to go into the air cleaner. He did get it to start once and it ran rough for about 3 minutes until he stopped it. White smoke was coming out of the muffler. He put the belt back on and tried to get it to start again and it wouldn't. That was all we did with it last night. we will try to work on it again later today. Any suggestions?
