My Toro 20018 not running now. It will start, and today it actually blew out a lot of smoke from the air filter, and then stopped almost immediately. I had cleaned the carburetor, but it will only start, and then stop, almost immediately. Any advice on what to look for to get it started and running? Many thanks.

Be nice to know what engine we are talking about.
Two things come to mind.
Flywheel key broken causing the timing to be out
Fuel drained into sump, check the oil level.
