YS4500 won't start

11 years ago

I have a Craftsman YS4500 that I just got from my neighbor. It has a B&S 21 OFV engine. He couldn't get it to start and neither can I. I checked the spark plug and it is sparking when trying to start. I checked the starter and it is engaging and spinning. I tried spraying starter fluid in and it will not turn over. I am at a loss as to what to check next. I checked to make sure gas is getting past the filter and it is. I am not sure what to check next. Any ideas?
