my cub AGS 2160 won't start it only start when I use starter fluid and that only for a second or so..I checked the fuel pump and the pump works..?? appreciate any help....johnny
 
If you can start it with starter fluid and keep it running with intermittent sprays of starter fluid, your engine is not getting any fuel from the carburetor.
 
but I disconnected the hose from the pump and the pump shoot out gas..?? would the carbruator need cleaning then ??
 
I presume an AGS 2160 is a ride on with a 21 Hp & a 60" cut..
In that case it has a cut off solenoin under the carb.
If the plunger does not retract when the ignition is turned on then the engine ( engine not carb ) can not get any fuel.

No, it's a 16 hp 2000 Series. Doubt if it has a solenoid; my 2140 doesn't.
