Hi. I have an mtd rh115b lawn tractor with Briggs 11.5hp 280h070311e1 that was working fine but now won't start. Battery was low but has been charged separately and now reading 12.8v. The flywheel does half a turn then seems to get stuck. I can push it round manually but it's hard work can do a couple of turns then it gets stiff again. And when doing it can hear what sounds like spraying. Oil smells a bit like fuel and looking down the air intake I can see a pool of fuel. Reading around it sounds like the carb could be gone? Appreciate any more experienced opinions as I've not attempted to repair a lawn tractor before. Thanks in advance...
