Steven, I think you have diagnosed your own problem. Check the specs you used to set the valve clearance. If you don't have any specs, set them both to .020" and it should run fine. Be sure that you set both valves just about 15-30 degrees before TDC on the compression cycle. (both valves closed)

Locate the tag with your model and serial number on the tractor. Be sure you get the number EXACT or it won't work.
Go to Murray's website and download it. They usually have parts listings at the back of the Owner's Manual

Why murray riding mower wont crank when being jumped off

Some mowers have safety switches that unless you are sitting on the seat and the clutch pushed in they will not start. Not sure if this is the answer.

Murray riding mower 12.5 hp briggs & stratton spitting oil & gas out of carb & muffler when trying to start

Drain oil... it is full of gasoline due to a bad float pin and rubber gromet in your carb. When your float pin and gromet fail, gas just keeps flowing into your carburetor, eventually flooding your motor with gas and oil mix.
