Update on my post........... Take the plug or plugs out of the engine and try to turn it with the starter........ If it will turn over then a valve adjustment will be in order......

Let us know Mon Ami ~!~!
 
In reality 12 volts don't cut it. I fully charged wet cell battery should read around 13.5 volts, nit 12.
 
watch the voltage when it cranks. Often a battery might show 12V but when it cranks it might drop to 8V or 9V is it is discharged. As the last post said, a fully charged battery is higher than 12V. You can also pull the spark plug to be sure it doesn't have water or fuel in the cylinder locking it up.
