New to this site! I have a 42" Ultima ZT1 that I believe is about 6 years old. I'm looking for some help because I have trouble when it comes to starting it. I can turn the key and it tries to start, but not luck to get it going. If I pour a little gas into the air filter hole, it will fire right up, and continue to run as long as I need it to. However, the moment I shut it off, it will not start again without me putting a little gas through the air filter hole. Recently replaced starter, starter solenoid, and ignition switch. Carb and fuel pump replaced about 10-12 months ago. Spark plugs were replaced in 08/23 This weekend I am going to do an oil change, spark plug change, and make sure carb is clean.

Is there something I may be missing that could be the issue here?

I am not the most mechanically inclined person, but I can work on stuff. Please forgive me if I don't use proper terminology!
