Hi:
I would think it would still start even with the mixture. However, after your last post, I have a different concern.
If the battery is good and the starter is good, why wouldn't the engine turn unless it was locked up or for some reason, one of the cylinders is full of fuel?
If you are certain that both the starter and battery are good and there are no weak connections, I need you to try one of two things.
First, take a socket that fits on the center bolt of the crankshaft pulley. Place a long breaker bar on the socket and see if you can turn the engine. Or.
Remove the spark plugs and see if the engine cranks. If it does, watch if fuel / oil come out of one of the cylinders.
Do this and let me know what you find.
