No you don't need compression to get spark but you do need compression for it to run.

Why high compression ratios are not used in spark ignition engines?

spark ignition itself can easily burnt the air fuel mixture hence the high compression ratio is not needed.


18.5 hp Briggs and statton has fire and gas but wont start?

An engine requires gas and spark to fire but it also requires compression and timing. If it has gas and spark, I would check the compression...should be over 100 to run good. If it has good compression then I would check to see if the spark occurs when the compression does. If it doesn't then you probably have a sheared key on the flywheel.
