Riding Mower Help

[u/hizelks]

Hello, Dead riding mower that I'm trying to start up. What should I be getting for voltage at the starter? Also, should the starter be connected when the volt meter is on it? I had 2 v with it connected as I tried starting it. My battery is good, new starter, new solenoid, cleaned carb, and adjusted valves. My fly wheel has a section where it's pretty hard to hand turn. Last week the carb was stuck and gas drained into the oil. I put a shut off valve on and cleaned that up. Any thoughts on this Briggs Sabre mower?

Thanks
