I picked up an 11hp B&S which was running when I bought it. Had it home and laid it on its side to install a pully to use on my Swisher swing blade machine. Now I barely can get a half turn of the crank and she locks up. What could have happened to the motor while on its side? The guy I picked up the motor from re-seated the valves and installed a new head gasket... and it was running at the point when I bought it.
The only thing that I did was swap out the carb and linkage, installed pully on the shaft and fresh oil.
I did pull the plug yesterday and she will still only turn about half a revolution.
