To repair a Briggs & Stratton 4.5 hp engine with low compression, first, perform a compression test to confirm the issue. If compression is low, check for potential causes such as worn piston rings, a damaged cylinder, or a blown head gasket. You can remove the cylinder head to inspect these components, replacing any damaged parts. Reassemble the engine, ensuring all gaskets are properly sealed, and retest the compression to verify the repair.

What is Hydraulic lock?
Hydraulic lock, often referred to as hydrolock, occurs when a liquid, typically water, enters the combustion chamber of an engine and prevents the pistons from moving. This can happen due to various reasons, such as a faulty head gasket, a cracked engine block, or ingesting water through the air intake. As the piston attempts to compress the liquid, which is incompressible, it can cause significant damage to the engine, including bent rods or a cracked engine block. Immediate diagnosis and repair are crucial to prevent further engine damage.
What did James Watt do to the steam engine?
In 1765, an engineer named James Watt was asked to repair a model of a Newcomen engine. While fixing it, he saw ways to improve it. He added a box called a condenser that helped keep the piston cylinder hotter. Watt also figured out how to have the steam push the piston in both directions, making a faster engine. Watt's improvements made the steam engine much more efficient. Watt also came up with the idea of comparing the power of his steam engines to the amount of work a horse could do.

Who does Briggs and stratton contract to build their snapper mowers?
Briggs and Stratton does contract anyone to build mowers. The mower manufacturers contract Briggs and Stratton to build their engines (or whatever engine is on the unit). That is why you can have a Briggs and Stratton on most any type of mower. Same is true for Kohler, Tecumseh, etc. Not to say that the engine manufacturers do not build their own type of outdoor power tool but as the question states "snapper mower".
