See if you can turn the engine over by hand (the right direction) to rule out the engine being seized. Sometimes even new batteries will need to be checked to make sure you have a good 12 volts in them, you may have to put in on a charger to get full charge in it. It sounds like low voltage to me.

check your battery connections from battery up to the motor also check all your grounds, make sure ground at motor is clean and tight and cables are in good shape good luck don

check the neutral safety switch and make sure the shift cables are depressing it. On my motor sometimes i need to move the shifter back and forth untill in is in neutral and depressing the switch. This is what it sounds like to me.

Its located just under the shift cables at the front of the motor, also check the connections of the wires running to it (yellow wires i believe).
