I have an exmark with a kohler command and it will not start- just cranks

I have spark
I have fuel

I replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the plugs , and cleaned the carb.

it will start on starting fluid but dies as soon as you stop spraying it. I turned the key without cranking and can hear the click of the fuel solenoid.... I also took the hose of the fuel pump and verified it pumps fuel when cranked

any thoughts?

It's not getting fuel then if as soon as you stop spraying it, dies.
This may help you if it's for The correct command

Thanks-
I watched it and then found another one closer to the same carb-

I cleaned it and verified the solenoid is functioning and put it back together to the same results- I then pulled the carb back off and verified the bowl was fuel and pumped the linkage and watched the fuel spray

What am i missing? The fuel pump pumps fuel while cranking so ithink that is fine but dont know if that all to check on that or if a backflow valve may be in it? While cranking the fuel filter isnt full of fuel but i do see some in it......
