my mowerr dont start

[juan medina]

I have brand new hustler raptor 42"
I have used it for at least 6 times...
but this morning it will not start
it cranks...... and with the choke it runs... and then .. dies
I cleaned the gas filter...
I cleaned the spark plugs
I cleaned the air filter....
I did changed the oil last week..... but I used it after. with no problem
it will start.... and won't stay running.
any ideas.....

Will it continue to run as long as choke is on?

Sounds like carb needs to be cleaned. Maybe even with a overhaul kit.
