I have a riding mower with a 15 hp Tecumseh engine that is hard to turn over without the spark plug in it . Is it time to rebuild?

Could also be a weak starter. Check battery voltage at the battery, and voltage at the starter lug.

So you haven't used the starter to turn it over?

Belts tight? Pull the belts off the bottom pulleys and see what that does. I crank my Lawn Boy with a Sears drill, teaches that mower a lesson too. Was your motor running ok to start with?
