I have a Husqvarna YTH 2348 mower that has spark, gas, and new gapped plugs. It fires once or twice when starting, but that is all.
Did you leave gas in your mower last year? If so, it is not unusual for old gas to "gum" up and this will cause your mower to act the way you describe.
Just in case you no longer have the manual, you can check it out here: Troubleshooting starts on page 25:

My son says you may have to siphon out the remaining fuel, add fresh fuel and try to start the unit. Maybe you could add a fuel stabilizer/Synthetic Fuel Additive at that time and always add something like Sta Bil when it will be weeks or months between uses. You might ask for help at an auto parts store as they sell all of these products.
My Husqvarna was running and cutting grass then it started running rough. I shut off the clutch to the blades and tried to reengage the clutch, nothing.
I then shut off the engine, and now there is nothing, nNo click, no pop, nothing! What the hell happened?Sounds like your carburetor has blown. You may also have a starter issue. With your mower running rough and now nothing, it was giving you the last clue before turning off. Hopefully after the carburetor replacement, there wouldn't be a battery issue ,because the battery may have kept this mower going longer with failing parts.
If the lawnmower was running rough and you heard some noise from the engine as you were cutting the grass it sounds like the engine has seized up and is no longer cranking over. You could have blown a gasket in the engine which caused it to either leak oil or get oil in the crankshaft of the engine. You will need to take this apart and make sure that the motor of the mower has not seized up and frozen. If you can no longer crank a mower this is normally what has happened to the engine.
Actually, this could be due to a maintenance issue but probably has to do with the carburetor.
If you are mechanically inclined you may be able to take your mower apart and check for problems.
You can also post your question on some of the repair forums and they'll know what questions to ask to help you figure out what needs to be done. You may have to join the group before you can post and some take a little figuring out on how to post.
You'll need your model number also.
There are also lots of YouTube videos on how to repair almost everything on a mower.

YTH20V46 Husqvarna lawn tractor that won't start. I've checked the fuel, the battery, fuse, and replaced the solenoid. When I turn the key nothing, but the hour display comes on.
Apparently it can be a common problem.
This is normally associated with the lack of incoming air or fuel not reaching the engine. Check to ensure that there is fresh, clean fuel in the fuel tank. Also check the fuel filter, because a clogged fuel filter will prevent the engine from obtaining adequate fuel supply
But it sounds like you already did that, so a next guess is check the carburetor, which can also fail

I was mowing and ran over an ant mound and the mower died. I turned everything off, made sure it was set just like it was when I got on that morning. It does nothing, not even a sound.
The lights work. When I put the blades in the on position and try to start, it clocks like it is telling me the blades are active. That is the only sound I get from the mower.I have a Husqvarna that will not start unless I jump it with cables. It has a new battery and the motor seems to drag unless using cables.
Is this a starter problem because it starts fine with cables.My battery is new; it is getting plenty of juice. When I turn the key, it tries to start, then there is a loud knocking sound and whining sound from the battery area. It has new gas and a clean air filter. Several previous times it was as if it was dragging, but it finally started.
It caught fire at the fuel cut off and I had to replace the ignition harness. I'm thinking it's the starter. What do you think? The fire and harness replacement was about 4 months ago.This could be your starter or even your carburetor. You should pull the starter first and take it to a lawnmower shop and have it tested. They have a machine they can test this on.
I have a Husqvarna yth2248 mower. It won't start using the key. I can crank it by using a piece of wire and touching the 2 terminals on the starter, but it only cranks. I can keep it running by spraying starter fluid, but it cuts off when I stop.
I can raise and lower the rpm while using starter fluid. Any ideas on what the problem is? I did spray the mower down with a water hose prior to all of this. It did run 3 months ago.I have a YTA18543 mower and it won't start. It was running fine earlier in the year, but now, it pops like it's going to start; then quits. We have to wait an hour or so before it will do it again. Otherwise it just grinds. Good fuel, new fuel filter. Any ideas?
My zero turn Husqvarna rz1306 will not start. I have put in a new plug, cleaned the magneto, added new gas, and cleaned the carb. It turns over and over. It appears to not be getting gas in the carb, but still won't start even with starter fluid.
Please help.
I have a Husqvarna pz5426 riding mower. The main fuse broke off (deteriorated looking). How can I get the rest of it out, or am I gonna have to take that 3 fuse box out and replace?
Also there is another place for a fuse right beside it, however it is not labeled. 25 p wiggles. Is it an auxiliary main?I have a Husqvarna LGT2554. It's getting gas to the carb and won't start, but if I pour gas in the air intake it will fire.
I have a YTH1542XP mower with a Kawasaki FH430V engine. I have cleaned the carb twice. The float bowl is getting gas. The engine cranks, but will not fire unless spray into carb. The carb is removed for disassembly each time.
Now I see there is a fuel shutoff solenoid. Could that cause it not to start? Next step was to replace the carburetor if not the solenoid.Make sure the fuel and air filters are clean.
