I have a Troy Bilt 17 hp lawn tractor 42" cut. I will not start. When it turns over it seems like it has to much compression. I can take the spark plug out and it spins freely. I have tried a different starter off of another 17 hp take cranks fine. I have tried using a larger battery but I still have the same problem. Can anyone help me?
