LT1018 not starting, just turns and turns
Background:
I have a LT1018 with about 150hour on it running the 18.5hp BS engine. Last time I used it the unit seemed to have a strange vibration to it. Shut it down and checked the blades but nothing looked out of place. Finished with the yard work and shut it down. About 30mins latter tried to start it up and it would just turn and turn but not start. Pushed it in the garage and called it a night. The current problem: Right now the batt is dead so I am jumping it from my truck batt. The engine turns freely but does not start. Took spark plug out and with it connected to the coil can see it sparking when trying to start, so I know its getting spark. I then took the carburetor off and sprayed some carb cleaner in the intake and tried to start again. It made some backfire noise but nothing significant. I pulled the fuel line from the carb and it is defiantly getting fuel to the carb (aka, fuel pump is working). I am not 100% sure if it is getting fuel from the carb to the intake. When I took the spark plug out again it was wet so I am pretty sure it is getting fuel but not 100%. I took the valve cover off and had the starter turn the engine and could see them both moving up and down. Tried to do a compression test on it but got nothing. The gauge I have is for automotive so I'm not really sure it would pickup the compression from the BS engine. I am hitting a wall with this. It has spark, has oxygen, and I'm pretty sure it has fuel but does not run. I am guessing I am missing something but not sure. I am hoping one of you guys/gals knows of a switch or something that might cause this problem. Thanks for any help.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
