Engine needs half crank to start

My 1 year old Craftsman 26 HP starts readily if I jump it. If I cold crank it, it tries to turn over but won't go all the way through. If I manually turn the meshed exposed head around a half turn or less, then use the key it usually starts up. This can occur even after it's been running a while.



Yesterday I ran out of gas. I accidentally added chainsaw fuel, mixed gas/oil, rather than straight gas. This is probably 6 month old fuel. Now even the manual rotation of the head doesn't work. Any thoughts? Should I get a charger? If I can jump it to start it, can I just burn through the gas/oil? Or should I try to change fuel before jumping? Thanks, a newbie.
