Sounds like you will need to clean your carburetor.
Sometimes you can get by with priming it a few times, and letting it run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of the jets,but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
If the mower is over a couple years old, then I also recommend that you buy and install a new carburetor repair kit,because the diaphragm will get hard and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, You will first seat the jet screws and count the number of turns it takes to seat the jets from their original position.
That way when you go to put the jets back in, you know how many turns they were in/out.

Good Luck, I hope this helped
Testimonial: "Thank you my problem is finding the right rebuild kit"
I have a cub cadet LT1018 and wont start because it is getting to much fuel. what is causing this
Rebuild kits are based on the machines model & serial #, not the carburetors numbers. the carburetors numbers only come into play if you are looking for parts at a non-dealership shop. Find a Cub Cadet dealer, and give them the model & serial of the tractor. They can then find the right kit for your carburetor...
