turns over, but will not start. There is spark. Gas spurts from line before carb. Did start a few weeks ago by using starting fluid and did keep on running. Now will fire with starter fluid, but won't fire up.

Repost up in the bobcat forum, it will get more readers. It could be stuck float in carb , vacuum leak , carb loose on mounting bolts. If the plugs get wet when trying to start it then check the timing also.

I agree with Jerry try tapping the carb to free the float
