I assume you checked for spark by removing the spark plug wire and tested for spark against ground. Although you may have spark through the plug wire, the spark plug could be bad and the spark is not being conducted to ignite the gasoline - change the spark plug. Another reason would be a sheared keyway on the flywheel that would cause it to be out of time. Another possibility is a shorted kill switch wire. Hope this info helps.

The exact location of the compression release mechanism in a 17hp Briggs and Stratton engine can vary depending on the specific model and design of the engine. Typically, the compression release mechanism is located near the camshaft or valve train assembly of the engine. It may involve additional components such as springs, levers, or pins that interact with the exhaust valve to temporarily release compression during the starting process.


What is the compression of a 3hp Briggs and Stratton engine?

Briggs and Stratton does not release specific compression values. Anything above 120 psi should be just fine, around 90-100 and you're most likely due for a rebuild. A better test is a leakdown test, with can help in determining where compression is being lost.

How much compression is good on a Briggs and stratton 15.5 hp engine?

briggs doesn't offer compression ratings for their engines. I will usually pull it 3 to 5 times and look for 90 to 120. anything less is a problem and if it doesn't hold compression there is a problem
