What would cause a Briggs and stratton 4.5 HP lawn mower from starting?

If it will start but dies like it is running out of gas, it is most likely the small o ring that the float needle goes into. The new gas mixture that has been forced on that mixes alcohol in the gas and causes that o ring to swell and effectively shuts the gas off too early not allowing the float bowl to fill up. The cure is a carb overhaul kit for around $8. You cannot buy the o-ring separate and I have not found any substitutes that can handle this new federally mandated abuse forced upon us.
After installing the new o-ring use sta-bill on the gas this supposed to help but I wouldn't count on it too much try to run the gas out of the carb or drain it if not being used for a long period.

Who does Briggs and stratton contract to build their snapper mowers?
Briggs and Stratton does contract anyone to build mowers. The mower manufacturers contract Briggs and Stratton to build their engines (or whatever engine is on the unit). That is why you can have a Briggs and Stratton on most any type of mower. Same is true for Kohler, Tecumseh, etc. Not to say that the engine manufacturers do not build their own type of outdoor power tool but as the question states "snapper mower". Also keep in mind that if you have a snapper mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine and you need warranty work on the engine you need to go to an Authorized Briggs repair facility where as if you have a mower warranty then you need to go to an authorized repair facility for the mower manufacturer.
