Help with John Deere Zero Turn Mower?

Sam B asked:
I left my 23 HP John Deere mower out in the rain, and now it has some major problems. At first I it would'nt start, but I tightened the battery connections and it cranked up. When it started it was sputtering and blowing white smoke. I let it warm up and pushed the throttle to full, but that only magnifyed the symtoms. It only crawls along at full throttle. I gave it a few days to dry out, and it still acts the same. What could be the problem?
