Your Briggs and Stratton 5.5hp only runs with the choke on because it needs a tune up.
The Briggs and Stratton push mower tune-up kit includes a pack of Stabil, 18 ounce bottle of oil, spark plug and air filter, so the correct answer would be 18 ounces. Always check the oil level level after refilling.
If you don't want the engine to blow up, yes.

Always check the oil level level after refilling. According to Briggs & Stratton website it takes 22 ounces. If the engine is equipped with an oil filter add 4 ounces.
There are many parts at are used on multiple models of engines, so its like a 50/50 chance. The 1/2 horsepower difference may use a completely different one though... Post back the model and code numbers of each of the engines, and I will look up if they are compatible or not.
Can provide pictures of linkage. How do I add pics to answer page?
briggs and stratton generators usually run from 159 to 179 but if you find them used at a pawn shop or on craigslist them you might end up spending a lot less then that.
Depends on where you sit, what you weigh, weight of gear, dog, wife, etc. But probably. Mine puts me up quick, I have a 8 ft. alumicraft with a 5 hp Briggs camo outboard. It's all about where you sit i find right in the middle is best.
It is around a 5 hp. *this is incorrect: the ones they sell currently would be more in the 7.5-8hp range, seeing as an equally featured 190cc briggs and stratton engine is 6.75hp on a lawn mower the additional 15cc bump it up to around 8hp.
If it back fires or it gets jammed up it may have shear the key on the shaft under the fly wheel that would put it out of time.
Try servicing the air filter.
