YT6800 starting problem

[Regenfall]

Bought a non-running lawn tractor.  Thinking I could handle small engine repair...

Drained the gas, new fuel filter, plugs...I haven't got around to changing the oil and filter yet.

Installed a new ignition switch, it turns over, the motor but won't start. Little carb cleaner in the carb, it will start, run for few seconds and stop.

Lurking the forums, I see many fixes, but could someone, please send me in the right direction.

Thanks

Sidenote---- For sale if anybody wants it (No Parts): Central Iowa $200, Condition---Fair (It was stored outside)

Take your carb off and clean jets and make sure your float in not stuck shut

Thanks Yamadog!

This was my first Adventure into carb rebuilding and it was successful, I think. As it runs great, engaged the mower after a few tries and it works too!

Thanks Again!

Now to changing the oil...
