cv680 engine starts then dies

[jimallen2012]

My cub cadet 23hp (cv680) engine starts easy and runs only about 2 seconds. Will start right back up and again die after about 2 seconds. I have checked the fuel pump and it seems to be working. I washed the mower and engine. It was running good before I washed it.
