i have a join deer rider and my father and i installed a fuel shutoff value. well i forgot to shut the value when i finished mowing so it sat for 3 days till my dad checked and saw it wasnt shut. week later when i try to mow it started for 5 seconds then stopped and wont start again. i smelled gas in the oil so i ended up draining the oil, removed the spark plugs and air filter and let it sit for almost 2 days to "air out". put new oil in and it still wont start up. it turns but thats it. when i removed the spark plugs i even turned the engine a few times so that it would spit out any gas/oil in engine but nothing came out.
wondering if the compression inside got messed and that why its not starting.
so now im stuck and not sure what to do to get it started again? any help would be greatly appreciated.
