My 1 year old Toro Personal Pace push mower decided not to crank. I've tried all I know.
Drained out old gas
Tank looks clean as can be.
Pulled fuel lines and all was clear
Drained gas and put in fresh gas.
Added a few ounces of stuff (forgot name) to clean any water out of system...let sit per directions.
Pulled starter rope 10 sets of 10 times over a week or so.
I'm getting spark at wire and at spark plug.
Changed out spark plug anyway and getting spark there too.
Put in new air filter.
It will crank easily on first pull like a champ..if and only if I spray some HEAT starter fluid and will run for about 2 seconds.
Sounds like it isn't getting any fuel at all. Maybe I missed it, but I did not see any kind of fuel filter at all.
Suggestions or ideas?

Not that I know of. But that sure would be a great place to start, lol. I'll update you on that after I get home.

If it's a fuel problem try adding a double dose of SeaFoam to gas. If it run at all it will help.

OK, that's my next step is to take carb apart.

i wouldn't worry with trying to rebuild...is more of a pain.
back in the spring, i ordered new/cheap chinese made $20 carb off ebay and replaced in my neighbor's 3yo version of the same and it cranked on the 2nd pull. he used it all summer with no probs. took about 15mins to replace it...new gasket everything. just search for the model number on ebay...there will be lots.

Take the carb off and clean it. There's a product that comes in a paint can where you submerse the carb in it. That's been effective for me.

This is good advice. You can buy a new carb for about the same price as a rebuild kit, and don't have to fool with cleaning the carb.
