It also has to be getting gas. After turning it over a few times take out the plug and see if it's wet. If not it isn't getting fuel. Maybe need carb adjustment or new fuel filter or fuel pump if it has one. This may not fix, but it's a good place to start
Try 32 thousands, to start, depends on how much compression the engine has at this point.
You could try cleaning the spark plug. That worked for us. Take the spark plug out with a wrench and use sandpaper to clean it.
check your coil out
Might be in your ignition : lose wire, bad switch : when it won't start check for spark .
Briggs has a rudimentary wiring diagram for the operation of an electric start engine. see the link below.
I have a 14.5 Briggs and Stratton engine on a Ranch King riding mower that will not start. After spraying starter fluid into the head, and air cleaner it fires for a second, but will not run. It is getting gas.....coil??? or something else?
Because its a pos I have a brand new one that won't start.
Put fresh gas and stabilizer in it, and prime it with the red prime button. I just bought one from a guy who couldn't start it. Now that I know it will start, I will change the oil and maybe put a new spark plug in it.
Your Briggs and Stratton pressure washer may not start due to several common issues. Check the fuel level and ensure it's fresh, as old or contaminated fuel can prevent starting. Additionally, inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, and make sure the choke is in the correct position. Lastly, ensure that the safety features, such as the trigger lock, are disengaged and that there are no clogs in the fuel or air intake systems.

To tune up a 4 HP Briggs and Stratton engine, start by changing the oil and replacing the oil filter if equipped. Next, clean or replace the air filter and spark plug to ensure optimal combustion. Check the fuel system for any debris and replace the fuel if it's old. Finally, inspect the carburetor and adjust the throttle and idle settings as needed for smooth operation.
