Did the engine turn over THEN the battery went flat? Or did you not try because you felt there was no fuel at the carbs?
Sorry just trying to get a feel for the course of events.

Make sure you havnt filled the cylinders with fuel when you left it on prime !!! and locked the motor up with fuel !!!!
Take the plugs out and see if the engine will turn over by using a spanner on the nut on the R/hand side of the crank! Also check the oil level in the engine...............and sniff the oil in the engine to see if it smells of Fuel.
