Murray B&S 13.5HP turns over but won't fire
Hello, I have an older model Murray riding mower with a briggs and stratton 13.5 HP OVH motor, Nikki carb. I just acquired this recently and after charging up the battery, it started up once and shut off almost immediately. Since then I have been unable to get it fired up again. I've changed the spark plug, and checked the carb (to what extent I know how), the floater moves freely and the anti whatever solenoid closes and opens when the key is in the 'on' position, with good voltage going to the wires. I have good spark as well. The engine turns very strong, but never fires up, just turns over and over. I don't have alot of experience in the small engine world, and I couldn't find a short anywhere, other than the headlights don't come on and I dont see any power from the wire coming out of the key switch. Any ideas? Thanks for anything that can be done to help!

What is the integrity of the fuel in the unit? Is it over thirty days old? Is there water in the fuel? If you remove air cleaner and spray carb cleaner and crank, what happens?
