I have a John Deer 265 mower that will not start and/or run without starter fluid. I checked the fuel pump and it is working, fuel is getting to the carb. If I take the air filter off and spray fluid in there, it will start but it will only run for as long as I am spraying fluid. I have ground the point off of the solenoid that goes in the bottom of the carb, so that shouldn't be causing any problems. I am stumped as to what else I can do to get this going. I also replaced the spark plug, and the igniter. Any suggestions?
