I just bought a Craftsman riding lawn mower and had a broken
connection rod. I replaced the rod and the gaskets. The problem I'm
having now is the engine wont start at all. I see fuel blowing out of
the carb. I lined up 2 dot of the cam and crank. check the valves
clearance and reading .005 on exhaust and .007 on intake. cleaned
around the valves so they will seat better. nothing.

Does anyone know the compression ratio?

or how about this, does anyone know what else to check?

I need help PLEASE!!!!!
