Long Storage Re-Start

I have a Craftsman 42" Briggs Rider. It has been in staorage 1yr.+ but ran great prior to that. I could have done a better job i know about storing but did not. When attempting to start, engine rotates to a point (not near enough rotation to fire) and stops. Engine not frozen. Without spark plug, it rotates freely. When fuel is addplied, and cracking without plug, fuel seems to appear to "spray" out plug hole.
Questions:
Can the starter stall under a load and not have enough to rotate engine?
Is this a compression issue?

What I've done so far:
Replaced fuels lines, filter, shut off vavle.
New spark plug

Thanks for your input and ideas!
