Upon trying to start, the engine turns as if the battery is dead. It is a new battery. If I remove the spark plug and turn it over, it turn fine. When I re-insert the plug, it again turn over as if the batter is dead. HELP!!!!

For starters remove the battery and take it back to the store where you bought it and have them test it. Your solution may be to purchase another battery.

Sounds like the gear on top of the starter is stuck or broken. Inspect starter. If it's broken, the starter must be removed to replace the starter drive. You may need to buy a Starter Drive Kit. If you starter has a flat piece on top held on by a retaining ring, it's part # 696541. If you have the older type starter with roll pin holding the drive on, you need part # 696540. You probably have the first one. To install the retaining ring, use a 3/8 socket to tap it into the groove. Dwain

sounds like to me that your flywheel key is jammed. you will half to take it apart. Inside you will see a little gear on top of a cylinder shape object. and the gear turns the middle part. you will have to turn the middle part as hard as you can to get the gears unjammed.
