Plugged in the spark tester and have spark. Tried to start it and nothing. Tried the starting fluid and nothing. What now?

If you have spark and spray starting fluid it should try to start!!!
You have fuel and fire...
Spark plug could still be bad


Carburetor sucked up some little bit and blocked jet...
clean carb.

Remove the spark plug and put a short shot ( less than 1 second ) down the plug hole. Try to start the engine.
IF nothing then the spark is out of time.
If you get pops out of the carb or exhaust the the vales are the problem.

Went out this morning and pulled off the fuel line going into the fuel pump. Let out about a pint of gas into a jug. Re attached fuel line and moved around to the carb. Pulled the fuel line going to the carb and cranked over the engine. Had fuel going into the carb. Pulled the filter cover off the carb and sprayed carb cleaner directly into the carb, Went around to check the plug, spark tester is still attached and showing spark. Noticed the spark tester is not fully plugged in. Snapped it in and tried to crank it. Fired right up and running like a champ! Left it running and put all the filter parts back on and mowed for about twenty-five minutes. Still running!!! No idea what fixed it, but it's running! Thanks for all the advice!!! I'll will keep you posted...
