I have a Cub Cadet HDS-2155 with a 15HP Kohler engine and it doesn't want to start with out starting fluid. After I use starting fluid it runs great. I don't want to use starting fluid. What could be the problem that I would have to use it? Thank you

Check to make sure that the choke is fully closing. Loose control cables may only allow it to close part way causing your problem. If that does not work I would rebuild the carb.
