Hi guys, I was just given a troybilt push mower with a honda engine on it. They couldn't get it to run. I cleaned the carb but it will only start with starting fluid. So I took the carb off and cleaned
it again. Still won't start. One shot of starting fluid and one pull and it starts fine. The mower model is 11A-B290711 ser. no. TEO72K11534. I can not tell what model the honda engine is.
There is a row of numbers on the side of the block but I can't read them. I looks like they made the numbers by pin pricking them in the block.
Does any one know what my problem could be? It runs great after it starts.

probably the choke or primer is not working right would be my guess. Or old gas.
