A fully charged battery is 12.6V so it pretty much can't be 13, not to mention the amps bit.

Shoot some carb cleaner or B12 in the carb and try to start. If it fires you aren't getting gas.

As mentioned above the next thing to check is fire....pull a spark plug and turn it over and see if you are getting a spark.

Report back.
