    I have a Craftsman 16 HP lawn tractor that won't start.
    It was stored for two years with gas in it... I have put in fresh gas, changed the air filter, cleaned the carb and changed the spark plug and the battery. It did crank a couple of times, but ran very rough and now it won't crank at all. It will turn over, just not enough to run.

    Okay you said you cleaned the carb . Does it have fuel solenoid on the carb if so see if its clicking when key is turned on,
    Try pouring a little gas in the carb and see if it starts , if so go back to the carb.
    Luck
