Husqvarna yth22v42 riding mower cranks over but won't start

[mowerloser]

I cant get this mower to start without spraying starter fluid in the carb. Just changed the oil, new plugs (checked and getting a spark), gas filter, new gas in gas tank. Lately every time I go to start it, I end up having to spray starting fluid in the carb just to get it started. If I don't, I end up running the battery near down cranking it over trying to get it started and can't figure out what is wrong. Once I spray the starting fluid in the carb, it fires right up and starts. Once it starts and runs a little, I don't have any problems running it but need to spray starter fluid in the carb every time I want to start it.

My thought is that you need to clean your carb. What engine do you have in your mower. I could really use the model number. Remember when we start that you need to take lots of pictures so you can put it back together correctly.
