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.

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.
