Hi Folks
Ive got a fairly elderly Toro Wheelhorse with a B&S 12hp motor.
Its worked jut fine until the other day, when I accidentally ran over a length of heavy spring that got coiled round the blades and brought it all to a stop.
I eventually untangled it all, but now it wont start. I get a click, and sometimes even a half a turn, but it wont catch and the wires from the battery get really hot.
Ive now pulled the spark plug and found the plug heavily oil-fouled, and in fact oil is now seeping out of the sparkplug port.
I have a bad feeling this might be terminal but grateful for any advice.
Cheers
