How a 6.5 ohc Briggs and straton won't start fast after 3-5 prime pumps have to pull start over 8-10 times to get it run once started runs well with power but if you stop it won't start fast again?

It could be that the shear pin is damaged or bent and the engine is "out of time" when it gets to TDC. The flywheel will have to be removed to get to the shear pin. The shear pin is the aluminum pin that fits in the keyway of the flywheel and the shaft. It is made of aluminum and meant to break, bend, or shear when the mower blades strike a solid object while rotating. The breaking, bending, or shearing of the pin helps prevent the engine from being damaged or at least minimize engine damage at impact.

Briggs and Stratton 4.5 HP required oil?

You should use a 30-weight motor oil, NOT a multi-grade such as 10-W-40. Use of multi-grade oil will increase your oil consumption considerably. Check your owners manual, nearly all Briggs engines made in the last 10 years recommend a multi-viscosity oil, namely 10w30. However, if not used below 40 degree temperature's, 30w detergent oil is fine as it is shear stable (will not degrade to a 20w under high heat).
