No, it can't have too much compression. It sounds like the battery or starter motor is going bad. Fully charge or replace the battery, then have the starter tested.

What will cause compression lock up on a Briggs and stratton lawnmower only when spark plug is in?

Probably has something to do with the compression release or valve adj. Look at troubleshooting in the manual. You did not say if your lawnmower is gas or electric. Problem (not starting) could mean the spark plug is fouled, improperly gapped, or damaged. Does it crank but the engine never catches? You didn't say Is there an electric starter? Outlet might not be live - battery could be weak or dead or there could be bad connection or bad starter motor.


18.5 Briggs and stratton engine will not spin fast enough to start?

If an 18.5 Briggs and Stratton engine is not spinning fast enough to start, it could be due to a weak battery, bad connections, or a faulty starter. Check the battery voltage and ensure all connections are clean and secure. Additionally, inspect the starter and solenoid for any signs of damage or failure. If these components are functioning properly, the issue may lie within the engine itself, such as compression problems or fuel delivery issues.

How do you check a Briggs and stratton alternator?

check the battery with voltmeter without the engine running then check with it running if voltage is higher it is working


Why car does not start?

It needs battery power, fuel, compression and spark to start and run. You are missing one of those.


How does 16.5 Briggs and stratton charge battery?

The 16.5 Briggs and Stratton engine charges the battery through a flywheel-mounted alternator that generates electrical power while the engine runs. As the engine operates, the alternator produces AC voltage, which is then rectified to DC voltage by a diode or rectifier to charge the battery. This process ensures that the battery remains charged to power the engine's electrical systems and facilitate starting. Regular maintenance of the charging system is essential for optimal performance.


How much compression is good on a Briggs and stratton 12hp engine?

Since they have a compression release, it is a bit difficult to get an accurate reading...you must get to +_350 rpms. if your starter is in good shape, attach jumper cables from your car to your battery which will provide the amps to spin it fast enough for the compression release to...release. To get to the point...if the engine is spinning at less than 350 rpms it should read 60-90. over 350...75 - 110. Another option to get an accurate reading is to turn the engine backwards. This will take the compression release out of the picture. You can do this by making use of a drill with a socket driver and attach it to the flywheel nut and turn the engine in the opposite direction, usually counter clockwise, through 10 or so compression strokes...compression should be between 80 and 110. Hope the helps


Your stratus does not start and the engine just chirp?

it sud be many things, it could be something as simple as dead battery. or maybe the valves are bent... so you might not be getting pressure to start.. you might want to do a compression test.

Does it have fuel/spark/compression?
